I woke up this morning to let my ducks out of their coop, when I saw that one of them had her head stuck. I immediately ran outside and got it out, but she’s pretty swollen all around her neck and her breathing is pretty labored. We are currently chilling inside away from the other duck, but I want to know if I can help reduce the swelling and clean up her wounds. Here are some pictures.

Hi @honey and bee welcome to BYC.
It might be oedema from being stuck. She might have been stuck for a while before you found her.. How is she now?
she’s doing quite a bit better. she has mostly been resting, and the swelling has gone down quite a bit. she’s not 100% yet, she doesn’t want to swim or play like she normally does, but everyday she is acting more and more like herself!
