Wounded cayuga duckling

@casportpony and ideas on this poop. I'd say spinach but don't know that for sure.

It looked like this before the spinach...... I did give it spinach trying to get it to drink the vitamin supplement. But its poop was this color before any greens were given.

What did you clean the wounds with?

Dose it look bad?!? Am I doing something wrong?

Those pics are from today? the bite marks don't look infected or anything maybe casportpony was wondering if you were using peroxide that should on be for initial cleaning. But you aren't I think your doing fine with what you are using. I did buy some hebiclens to wash wounds as was recc by @casportpony It's great to have on hand. I also use Vetericyn

 

[Fisherlmiranda]

Yes the picture is from this morning.

How's the appetite? I have a call in for @casportpony to come and look at the poop, hopefully it's just from not eating much.

I'd say her appetite is only slightly under usual. She is eating her feed here and there. Its organic unmedicated chick grower, rolled oats, and brewers yeast with garlic in it.

She has started standing too, not walking but its something. So things are looking a little better.

The poop doesn't look normal to me. May I suggest that you feed nothing but crumbles for the next 24 hours and see if the green goes away?

I asked about what was used to clean the wounds because some things might not kll all the bacteria.

 

[casportpony]

I have some zinc oxide powder I was considering sprinkling on to help dry it out and heal,

I would not use this.

Zinc can be toxic to birds.

Ok, I dint. I just knew it can aid healing in humans, so it was just a thought.
