NEED HELP! DUCKLING ATTACKED BY DOG!

[lena_]

Today I went to go check on my ducklings with their mother hen. However I saw my mum's pet dog 'Muss (because he's enorMuss) attacking a duckling. It's cheeping sounds very off (Kind of gurgly) and it appears to be in shock. Muss has teeth issues, so I don't know if the skin was punctured or not. I can't find any puncture wounds. Mother hen is still walkin around with her other three babies. What should I do with the little guy?

I would put it in a cage and bring it inside. How old is it? It may need a heating pad to keep it warm, or wrap it in a towel and hold it close for a while. I would add save a chick or any electrolytes to the ducks water.
@casportpony would be able to give you further info, or many of the other nice duck keepers on BYC. Not sure who is up at this hour.
Check the duckling over to be sure there are no wounds.

Oh and put up the ducks so the dog can't attack any more.
