Can I rescue this pillow?

A few nights ago DD was sick on a duck down pillow. The next morning I washed it in the machine then put it in the dryer for a cycle.

Unfortunately I then forgot about it and found it today still in the dryer slightly damp. I've run it through a few drying cycles and plumped it up and it seems to be dry now but it smells horrible and feathery. What can I do? Should I wash it again?

I'd try washing it again using Sports Wash detergent (you can get it from Sainsbo's) it's anti bacterial and gets almost any smell out at low temps

Yes, wash again and hang outside to dry. If it still smells after a couple of days, bin it.

OK great thanks for the tips! Will wash again and hope a day hanging on the line will sort it out.
