My poor duck dude got attacked by something, maybe a raccoon, and he has significant wounds on his bill and right above it. I'm totally clueless on what all to do for him. He's indoors right now after spending most of the day in my bathtub. I've cleaned his wound and sprayed it several times with Vetricyn+ and caked his bill with Medihoney. I am fairly new to ducks, I have three that were abandoned at a state park and I adopted them from their rescuers. I'm fairly certain they lived with chickens before I got them, but everyone is separated tonight and will remain so until Drake is healed.
I'm completely open to suggestions on what to do for him and how to treat his wounds. I feel like I had just mastered chicken crises and now this happens...

Sounds like you've done everything right so far, I use Vetericyn and Neosprin without pain relief for wounds. Just know what ever tried to kill him will be back for more.
 
The ducks live with my chickens in a room inside our barn and my son-in-law is going to do some remodeling in there tomorrow to make sure nothing else can get in there. I feel reassured that Bob Hoke calls the wounds "Superficial ". I havent had my ducks very long but I sure do love them.
