Peking duck losing feathers and skin turning black!!!!!

[sabrinaahanson]

Hi everyone! I have had my two pet peking ducks for over 6 years now. My oldest duck has been loosing some of his wing feathers for a while now but we thought he might just be molting. But overnight, the area under his wing has lost all feathers and the skin appears black/brown. It absolutely horrible and it’s starting to spread. It’s been two days now and we have been putting antibiotics on the area and kept the flies away but we aren’t sure what to do. Does anyone know if this could be mite/flea/fungal related? I love him so so much and I just want to be able to help him. Any advice would be amazing!

thank you
