Duck surgery. This young Mallard is thought to have been injured by a snapping turtle. One of the vets I work with volunteered to remove the dead toe and clean up the necrotic tissue and the duck is doing great at a local rehab facility.

Is that a protective woolly sock?
Fantastic.
There is a problem up in NSW in that mosquitos "biting" birds feet or toes causes a spreading necrosis. First, the toe drops off, then each of the others until the whole foot disappears. I'm not clear if death occurs through the further spread of wasting causes the death or simply the shock of the loss.
