{{{URGENT}}} [Graphic Warning] Hurt Duck

[FathertoFeathers]

I would put some apple cider vinegar in her water to keep bacteria at bay and then put some antibiotic ointment on her neck but do so very very gently and very very cautiously. I wish you the very best and wish for a quick recovery! Good luck!

Hi, I really don’t know what to suggest but I’d maybe say keep her out of the water as to not get bacteria in the wound. If any bacteria gets in there she could get sepsis. I’d keep her dry and try and keep the wound as clean as possible by making sure she stays in a clean environment until she heals. Make sure she has company at all times so she doesn’t fret and keep a close eye on her. If you can maybe take her to the vet but I understand that’s very expensive.

I’m not sure what else to suggest after what everyone else has already said but I hope she recovers and my heart goes out to you, that’s awful

Thank You for all the help!

I had a leghorn be attacked by something, her wounds looked somewhat like that.
I cleaned the wound, dressed it with petroleum jelly, fed her lots of electrolytes, let her stay inside, away from the other chickens, with plenty of food and water. I also gently wrapped the wound in gauze bindings. After about a month she was completely better and returned to her coop. I am guessing it’s the same/similar treatment for ducks. Hope this helps!!

That is fine if her muscle is showing just keep it clean and it should start healing in the next couple days to a week and half if it doesn’t start healing on its own you may have to stitch it up
