Hello!
I have a week old duckling with an injured beak. I was taking her outside on a nice sunny day, keeping her safe in my hands. My little flock of adult ducks waddled over, seeming interested. I crouched down, holding the baby (her name is Layla and she’s a Welsh Harlequin) close to my body and staying a safe distance away from the big ducks. Then my drake slowly waddled over, looked at her, and bit Layla!
Theres only a tiny scrape, which I let her clean and rinsed with saline. This happened yesterday. She’s okay but her beak is a little swollen looking near the cut and I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do to make her a little better? Thanks 💕

I don't see any thing to be concerned about? You can put non pain relieving neosporin on it.
Okay thanks! In the pic it’s hard to see lol. She doesn’t seem to be in any pain or anything so think she’ll be fine.
 
It will heal well - nothing to be too concerned with. I'm sure she's getting lots of sympathy with that cute face. 😊
