please please anyone that can help. My rooster, who as of today is no longer with us ...ripped the crest damn near clean off my pekin duck girls head. She was covered in blood head to tail when I got home and it just looks like bloody mushy skin at the top of her head where her crest USED to be. She was moved into my bathroom and has soaked in warm water already. She’s eating and drinking and walking. I don’t know how to treat this though! I’ve heard crests are basically open holes going drirectly into the ducks head so I don’t want to put meds or anything in it for fear it will seep into her brain and kill her. I don’t want to bind the wound either for fear it will stick to the gauze or anything I use and be extremely painful to change or remove, and possibly rip the rest of the skin off. She is my original duck and even though I have 4 others, she’s my main girl. My rooster is culled so no chance of that happening again for her but I do have a drake that’s been with her few a while and loves to mate with her as well as my other girls. She can’t go back with them until she’s healed tho because of How they mate. He’d probably end her if he tried at this point. Any advice on treatment or what to look for if something’s wrong??
