Thanks for the clorhexadine tip. I wish id known before i bought the other stuff.

The Vetericyn is an antimicrobial.
It is good but costs more than the equally good Chlorihexdine.
We don't even use H2O2 hydrogen peroxide on our hospital wound patients anymore. It actually kills the good bacteria needed for tissue granulation therefore, it inhibits tissue granulation. It will also cause increase bleeding and tissue death. That tissue often turns white and dies with additional use. We do use it only to help us with debreadment of a wound base.

The description says its ideal for dogs and horses. How could she convince him to buy it anyway if he refuses? She mentioned he's hardheaded. Do you have a resource for it like with the peroxide? Just asking based on personal experience

This is from an avian veterinary textbook, chlorhexidine is mentioned in the first picture:

That stuff is pricey! I ended up buying that rooster booster wound spray based on price and it was (i thought) the only comparable thing. I wonder if could take it back and exchange it

Yes, if you have signed up for tractor supply perks, they can look your purchase up via the register computer if you don't have your receipts.

Good night my dear.
You did a good job and learned a lot.
If your lil Clover doesn't make it, you must remember that You did Everything you could. The wound looks pretty bad but, amazingly sometimes they make it. Hopefully you will be lucky.
If not, you asked for help and everyone came running.
The pup is a pup and doesn't know any better. But! Now You know the pup can never be loose with your ducks in your yard.
It has been a long night for you and also a very emotional night for you.
You learned Duck trauma/injury care tonight and perhaps can help someone else calling out for help.
Good night and think positive thoughts.
Let us know in the morning.
Vicki

I don't think I can help much with your duck from here, but for the puppy I would have eyes on her at all times. That is very important with having a puppy. You have to watch her 24/7. And don't let her have access to the whole house or yard. Keep her in a playpen when you can't watch her. And teach her leave it well. This is very important. The best way to do this is to get some food (best if it's something like bread, as long as it's safe), and set it on the floor. When she goes for the bread, say 'leave it' and put your foot over it to keep her from eating it. If she stops and looks at you reward her with a treat. Be sure when you say 'leave it', you say it like you mean it. Otherwise, when it's something that could hurt her or she could hurt, and you say it differently it may not work as well.
Practice this often.

The key is for dog training is to prevent any mistakes from happening early on. That is why you must monitor everything. Because once they get into something it's hard to teach them not to do it again. And it causes issues, weather it's chewing something up, peeing inside, or killing a duck.
And be sure to reward any good behavior.

Once she knows 'leave it', walk her on a leash by the ducks. If she lunges at them or shows aggressive say 'no, leave it', turn around then walk away.
Walk back towards the ducks, but not quite as close. Make her sit. If she does good reward her. Then, get her to just look at you. Reward her. If she growls or barks (etc.), turn around and walk away. Then come back. Repeat this process until she doesn't care about the ducks.
What you want to do is get as close to the ducks as possible without her trying to attack.
When she listens, and looks at you, that means the ducks aren't as big of a deal.

Do this for at least 10 mins a day. Twice or more if you can. Have multiple people in your family do this.

This is very important to do, otherwise it will happen again.

I hope this helps, and I hope your duck recovers
