Polysporin on a duck?

[Sierra67]

My duck has a cut on her web, looks like possibly another bird was standing on her foot and she pulled it away and cut herself, it’s bleeding like crazy so I bathed her and have paper towel taped to it because she was picking at it, I can’t get a picture of it right now so I drew one. My question it what can I do to stop the bleeding and can I put polysporin on a duck to help it heal

You sure can use polysporin. To stop the bleeding use cornstarch or styptic powder if you have it. She has to keep her feet dry and let the blood clot.

I have either baby powder or flour. I keep telling my husband we need cornstarch but keep forgetting to get it.

I would use the flour, unless the baby powder is fragrance free. They are often made with cornstarch.

This is her foot, she was being nice and calm and then out of nowhere started throwing up foggy fluid all over the place

Ouch is the cut clean through? Did you pick her up maybe accidentally squeezed her crop area?

What do you mean by clean through? Like right through her foot or actually clean?
no it’s not right through her foot
Yes I cleaned it well, and no when she threw up it was about 5 mins after picking her up and she was all calm, I didn’t touch her and then went to put polysporin on her foot and the threw up, freaked out and bit her foot and then started bleeding all over, my husband came and held her so I could bandage her foot and now she is resting in a dark bin but I’m starting to worry about her, her foot is also very hot and she’s starting to pant should she have access to any water or just leave her without for a bit
