i have bacitracin, but not much else. need to pick up more if im going to bandage her for a week. i will take pictures before we bandage her for reference. she seems to be doing okay. i think she is lonely. but the childrens motrin helped her sleep, i could tell that much at least.
thanks again for the reply.
we managed to bandage her up with some bacitracin and gauze. im just worried about her eating and drinking. she is in a kennel with an electric blanket on top to keep her warm, but not hot. with water and food. tomorrow before i take off the bandage and clean the wound, i am gonna let her see the other ducks through the kennel. i am hoping it will up her spirits.
i got some much better photos.

@triforcemack any update on your duck?
i am following this articles advice on cell migration. since the wound is too large to be stitched.Normally you wouldn't wrap/bandage a wound. Leave it open to the air and just keep it cleaned and your ointment on.
It looks like you've done a good job wrapping it. If you feel you need to wrap/cover the wound for her daily outside visits, that should be o.k.
Likely the cause of the color is from not eating.Thanks for the update, sure sounds good. If she hasn't been eating up till now that may have to do with her brightish green poop.
@Wyorp Rock may know more about that.
the issue is she has a fairly healthy appetite, and the stool is not lacking in substance. its just a deep green outside and a bright green inside. i am worried she has a virus or infection of some sort.Likely the cause of the color is from not eating.
Possible she has an infection. If you have access to an antibiotic that may be helpful.the issue is she has a fairly healthy appetite, and the stool is not lacking in substance. its just a deep green outside and a bright green inside. i am worried she has a virus or infection of some sort.
