My runner duck

[Danika Lee]

My baby runner duck has developed a bruise like bump on its beak. It had recently ate something that had upset it's stomach and I'm afraid the bump has stemmed from that. If anyone has any info on what it could be please please please reply! It doesn't seem in pain when I touch it, it's eating and drinking normally and is very active.

Do you provide water deep enough to dunk its entire head to keep nares clean?.....Looks bruised?...Did it bump its Bill?

Yes I do and that's what I believed happened I am just worried it's something more then just bumping it's bill. I read up on bill bruising and as long as it's an unopened wound it should heal up in a matter of a week before or so. It doesn't bother her but I'm just concerned.

I never worry....I've gotten rescues with bruised Bills...They heal like we do...If you bump yourself it bruises and heals...I'm sure it's okay .....
