You really need to start tube feeding him/find a vet that can very soon, or he will pass.

It happened about 5 this afternoon, its 11:30pm now, so not THAT Long ago. He is in a kennel by himself. He hasn't ate or drank since then. And his head and neck area still look like the pictures!I don't know how to help but I feel for you I'm so sorry your duck is hurt. When did it happen? How long has he not been eating? I would probably isolate him from the other ducks for a bit if you can't rule out that another duck did it, and give him space from them to heal. I hope someone else will comment soon with more advice
He is by himself in a kennel, near the house away from the others. I have been checking on him. He is definitely not eating or drinking still.i think he may have got attacked by your other drake(s). can you bring him inside the house? so you can keep an eye on him better and make sure he is comfortable, eating, and drinking.
That is my plan to get the spray and clean it.up tomorrow. Hes still not doing much. Someone said something about putting electrolytes in the water too?? I'm not sure about that.you may want to clean the wound first thing in the am so that you can see what is going on
The electrolytes are a good idea he is probably in shock from the attack just let him settle down and then if he isn't eating and drinking tomorrow I would give it through a syringe or dropper and puree or soften his foodThat is my plan to get the spray and clean it.up tomorrow.

What type of food can I give him?? The duck food?? Or is there something he should have?? I dont have electrolytes, can I substitute anything?The electrolytes are a good idea he is probably in shock from the attack just let him settle down and then if he isn't eating and drinking tomorrow I would give it through a syringe or dropper and puree or soften his food
