Weird Duck Behavior

[cmkelli]

I have a pair of Ducks on property. One of them was injured by what we think was a raccoon about a week ago from inside the enclosure. We have made additions to the enclosure and tending to his cut around his face.
Yesterday I noticed that while he is resting he will keep his bottom up in the air, instead of sitting on the ground. This is a new behavior that started just yesterday. Can this mean he has a clogged behind? If so what is the best method to help out his discomfort?
Thanks!

@cmkelli I don't know if he is clogged have you watched to see if he is pooping they go so often it shouldn't take long to find out. Have you looked him over real good for any other wounds under all those feathers it is easy to miss something.
How is he other than this particular behavior and his wounds on his face ? is he eating drinking acting normal ?

Thanks for the reply. Yes other than his body posture he seems to be fine.

@cmkelli have you been watching to see if he is pooping and what it looks like? does he seem to be straining?
