she can survive this! Can you go buy some chlorhexidine, gauze pads, telfa pads, gauze rolls and vetwrap?

Yes I can go right now - I have one more vet I’m gonna try that is opening at 930

oh good! If they won't see her, let me know and I will give you more details.

Oh no! Everyone already said all the advice I had, so I’m just going to say I hope she will be ok! Any idea how it happened?

 

[CaliFarmsAR]

I’m sorry about your duck! Do you know what happened? You can bandage it with vet rap but clean it and put gauz!

 

[KiwiandPeachthePigeons]

I would clean it out real well, spray some antiseptic on it, and wrap it up with gauze. You need to make sure it stays moist because it heals faster that way. Good luck!

We have seen lots of ducks show up here with massive wounds, And many heal and live on for many years. So dont give up!

They won’t take her. I can’t believe it.

Well then do everything @casportpony said to do. You've got to keep her clean, dry and quiet after her wound is cleaned up.

Since you are going to try more vets tomorrow, you need to be careful about what you do today. If I were you I would clean it well with saline and chlorhexidine, place a chlorhexidine soaked telfa pad on the wound, chlorhexidine soaked gauze pads on top of that. To keep the pads in place, use a gauze roll (3" or 4" if possible), then vetwrap over that.
