Urgent - Duck attacked by hawk, wounded on head

[Abraeri]

I will try. She's being kind of picky though... she won't drink the water or eat anything in it if it gets a little cloudy - if you put the same stuff in some clean water she'll eat all of it... I'm worried about the food dissolving and making the water a mess and she won't drink it.

You want it to be soupy just try a small amount. Leave it with her and leave her alone. If she is hungry hopefully she'll eat.

How does her eye look?

I'll try. The eye looks like it's watery... I'll take a picture. I let her out for a little bit in the afternoon with her friends and she tried to take a bath so I'm really hopeful for her, just worried about her not eating.

Sounds like she is eating just not eating her feed. So try the soup with her favs in it and as she begins to eat just cut back on her favs till she is eating just her feed then bring on the favs again.

Gave her water with peas and corn, she gobbled it down, but stopped once I put food in it :/ I think her bill is damaged and that is why she cannot eat dry food - like even if i give her peas in her hand she won't eat it.

Her poop is watery and green, which I guess is not surprising since her diet since yesterday has consisted solely of corn, peas and lots of water.

Her eye is full black...

Pictures attached.

I'll send a link to a video in a bit...

In the video when she shakes her head you can hear a rattling like sound from her bill which is what makes me think there is something wrong with it.

Also, do you think I could give her an electrolyte solution, like this one?

Do you think she would eat some canned tuna or salmon smushed up for some protein?

 

[Abraeri]

I will see... don't know if we have any on hand but will buy some if we don't

Just something to think about if she starts eating less. Poor gal. I bet you are right and her throat and mouth hurt right now.

Another thing I have done is put soggy wet food in my blender or nutri-bullet.
