Do you keep them all inside? I found a corn snake in one of my purple martin houses once. It sure was pretty. Then we found a 6' corn snake just a couple of weeks back. It wasn't so pretty.

I tried squeezing it and nothing. The post picture was after I had cleaned it with a little peroxide so it had started clotting. there is a kind of crease where it looks darker in the after picture and I did make sure to get up into it to make sure nothing was left where I had pulled the thorn out a few days ago. We will clean it again tomorrow and hopefully he will be doing better!

Just wanted to suggest the epsom salt and to ditch the peroxide. It's good for a quick clean the first time but if you use it to much it can keep it from healing. I had a cat that was attacked by something. I kept it cleaned with peroxide and bandaged. It didn't heal and the wound stayed looking raw. I switched to epsom salt when it started looking infected. After one day of using it the wound was almost completely closed. I was told it works like that because it kills the good bacteria as well as the bad so its not good to use regularly. Good luck. Hope your baby feels better soon. Some antibiotic ointment without pain relief may help as well but I'm not sure if ducks can use it. Might want to ask someone else here lol. Good luck again!! :)

X2 on ditching the peroxide...

I recommend getting clear/colorless iodine... works best... :)

Yes peroxide was just for this initial clean to help get anything I missed. I constantly sprayed it with microcynAH as I was cleaning and put antibacterial ointment (no pain reliever in it) on as I was bandaging it. Thanks guys!!
