The night before last the barn owl attacked one of my ducks...they are the same size as the owl now! I never would have thought an owl would attack something its own size. So poor ducky has a wound on the back of her neck which bled quite a bit but had stopped by morning. She is eating ok and drinking but not bathing and I noticed she is reluctant to bend her head down (I would be too I expect) poor thing. I sprayed some vetericyn on it but that was last time she let me near her and now runs away from me. So now I have to herd them all up before dark and shut them in their duck house and buy materials and build a covered run Grrrrrrr! The dogs keep away anything else. Any other suggestions for her care?
 
If the wound is pretty bad I would advise separating her so the others can't worsen it.
