Marc glad to hear that the ranger is involved - that's the best and safest way to sort these things out (speaking from experience - we have had dogs come in and kill one of our pet goats before, it's awful to deal with).
I hope your bites heal up okay and there is no frothing at the mouth involved!
Speaking from experience, ducks can be surprising resilient creatures. A fox once chewed the chest out of one of our ducks (a beautiful Peking called Muffin). We found her alive, cleaned out her wounds, dressed the gaping hole in her chest (actually she had no chest it was just a hole) and kept her wrapped in bandages in a dog crate in the house for a few weeks whilst tending to her. She actually survived. And so did our kids, after many tears and proclomations of death to all foxes.
I hope your drake makes it.
