Here's the full list of codes for "Bitten by ____, _____ encounter"

https://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/V00-Y99/W50-W64/W61-

The hierarchy looks like this:

W61.6 Contact with duck

= W61.61 Bitten by duck

== W61.61XA …… initial encounter

== W61.61XD …… subsequent encounter

== W61.61XS …… sequela

= W61.62 Struck by duck

== W61.62XA …… initial encounter

== W61.62XD …… subsequent encounter

== W61.62XS …… sequela

= W61.69 Other contact with duck

== W61.69XA …… initial encounter

== W61.69XD …… subsequent encounter

== W61.69XS …… sequela

There's codings like this for parrots, macaws, chickens, turkey, etc.

Hell there's an entire section for alligators and crocodiles at https://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/V00-Y99/W50-W64/W58- that includes crushing, bites, etc.
