My problem duck!

Maybe google will know?

I couldn't find anything from google on getting rid of maggots with some kind of safe insecticidal soap but one place rec frontline spray. The flea stuff for dogs? I have no idea just read it as a rec. I'd think dipping her in Epsom salt water make it strong and then dipping in a ACV bath might help. If in her vent gosh I really don't know.

Do you think we should cut the feathers in the affected area? I've read that we should, but was unsure

I would. Does she have a prolapse?

Yes, not sure what to do about that. We got all the maggots off. Soaked her in an Epsom salt bath. Sprayed her with poultry wound spray. And finished off with blow drying her with cool air - which she absolutely loved! She wasn't so keen on the rest. She looks a little better tonight.

Did you trim feathers? That can help with assessing things.

How's she doing today @Saxe0923

How's she doing today @Saxe0923

She doing pretty good by today. No more maggots or eggs. We are still doing baths of ACV to help soothe. And still spraying with the wound spray. Some of the areas are looking better. The skin on her tail is still black. Her vent still looks a little strange to me, thinking it is prolapsed. But I have to admit I'm not quite sure what it should look like. I can post a pic later. My other 2 ducks won't let me look at their vents...lol! Go figure!

Winifred has been enjoying the drying process though

Yes post a pic and keep the flies away. If she has a prolapse that needs to be lubed up with honey or coconut oil. And tried to get back inside you don’t want that tissues to dry out.
