I'm new to ducks and I'm not sure what to do.
The night before last, my ducks Strut (rouen) and Jem (pekin) were attacked by something that got into their coop. They're both a bit over two months old and when I looked them over, I noticed Strut had injuries on the neck and Jem had an injury on the wing joint. I treated them both with polysporine and they made it through the night okay. When I lethink them out this morning, they went to their pond but Strut seemed to be lethargic and generally miserable. I tried giving them peas which is a favorite of theirs. Jem pigged out so I have no doubt in my mind that s/he is okay but Strut only picked at a few and I'm not sure s/he even ate those. I tried again with their duck feed and still nothing.
I'm really worried about Strut and I don't know if this is normal post-attack behavior or if the wounds are infected or what.
Please, someone help me!
