My favorite duck, who's always been a little delicate, has injured her wing, I think from climbing through a bush to get to our lawn. I've examined it and it doesn't seem broken, but she's letting it drag a little and today the tips of the feathers are touching the ground. She is still eating and drinking normally but her wing seems to bother her a little. I'll put some vitamins in her water but don't know what I should do for the wing. Will it heal by itself? Or should I put vet tape around it and tape it up? (I've never done this and imagine she won't like it.) Do I take her to a vet? How long does something like this tend to take? Are there other implications involved (i.e. if she can't flap her wings, etc.) I searched the answers but didn't find an answer of whether to let it heal on its own or intercede with vet tape right away. Thank you!
Quote:If she is dragging it it could get worse or at least raw. you might want to wrap it for a few days then look at it again and see how it is. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=499730
