What kind of oil got on him? What did you use to remove the oil?
When feathers are damaged, sometimes the only thing to fix it is a good molt. So, keep watch, keep him warm enough, fed well, I would add a tablespoon of good quality dry cat kibble to his diet daily, and if you feel it is warranted, and possible, have a good duck vet check him over.
Also check his preen gland. It may have become injured somehow in all this. If so, dab a tiny bit of olive oil on it and massage it in.
Thank you so much for this tips and I'm not sure what kind of oil he got into, we used dawn soap and vinegar as we Called a wildlife vet and they recommend we use those two. And I have been giving him so dry cat food and his "girlfriend" Minnie they go crazy for it. How would I check the preen gland? Is it suppose to have a certain look?
Thank you again!
