They are randy little buggers at this time of year. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not sure anything other than supportive therapy needed. We&amp;#39;d occasionally get a duck red raw and separate her for a couple of weeks until it cleared up.

Their whole dorsal head and back is red raw from being pecked by a group of males.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Mallard rape flight</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/86091?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:24:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:88a40d76-d6c2-453f-a4cb-6f35d453029f</guid><dc:creator>Michael Woodhouse</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know what you mean by &amp;#39;rape flight&amp;#39; as I sure as hell aren&amp;#39;t googling it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
