scalped duckling :(

Yes we are always happy to get updates and your right this can def help others. So happy for you he is healing so well little one looks great.

Thanks for the update! It's not because the duck is growing, it's because the skin is regranulating, and it's healing. It's just a slow process, so keep applying the ointment, and give it more time. It won't be that much longer, now that you're seeing some improvement.

I hope so, I know that's a lot of skin to regrow, being completely gone like that.
He really misses the other ducks but I just can't risk him getting infected or reinjured. I just hope I don't have to try to house a full-grown duck indoors

You're seeing a little of the growth. Once you begin seeing the new growth, it doesn't take so long after that. IF you have a primary care physician, call their office, and tell them you would like some Silvadene, or the generic equivalent. Just say you got a small burn from taking something out of the oven, and would like some to put on it, if they even ask. Usually it's not something they quibble over. It's not expensive, and it's one of the best products on the market for healing skin.

Very good stuff indeed! Working in a kitchen and getting burns I've used this on myself a lot. Never thought about it being good for pet injuries. I need to get me some more. I lost the tube I had.

I've been using it for years on my chickens, on those rare occasions that require it.

Is this close enough to the same thing ? I had bought it for an incision but I was too chicken to put it on an open wound, lol. Don't know if I'd have the nerve to put it on the duck either, even with like a thousand positive Amazon reviews.

Keep a light coating of neosporin, WITHOUT pain relief, or any triple antibiotic ointment like that, on it, and it should heal.

Yes the one with out pain relief is called polysporin! You need that one @cymbaline ! Good luck, I used it on a duckling that got a dog bite and it made a complete recovery

I use Silver gel all the time good stuff.Safe too.

Oh yes, I've been using that since day one! Twice a day... I'm continually amazed at how well baby tolerates me putting it on, lol.

That's nothing like Silvadene, or generic equivalent, and way more expensive.
