Wound care

[MamaLynn23]

One of my young duck hens was roughed up a bit by our puppies. She has some small scrapes and cuts where they pulled her feathers off. What is something I can put on her to help heal and keep from getting infected? I have bathed her and have her in isolation at the moment because I don't want the other ducks or chickens to pick on her. Is Rooster Booster Pick-no-More just for chickens, or can I use it on ducks as well?

I would use some Vetericyn spray to help for a while.

And keep your puppies from your poultry. They have to learn to respect the birds. I can say this from experience since my geese wanted to harass my dogs so both sides had to learn to get along and respect each other.
If you can post pics of her wounds? Make sure flies can’t get to them or they will lay eggs and you’ll be dealing with maggots.
