I think the major wound was pretty similar. I couldn't tell the condition of OPs eyes, amd mine didn't have any visible tendrils. But both (and every scalping I've experienced) were down to the skull plate. Mine had both eyes swollen from the trauma(I figured she would likely lose one just due...

She was only about a week old at the time, maybe 2. She must have been spooked or something and squeezed through two corner panels of a rabbit cage, and the wire scraped off pretty much her entire scalp, and closed around her neck. I honestly thought she was dead when I saw it and was taking her...

Honestly, there isn't much to notice other than no bad smell, and the skin starts to grow back slowly. My last girl (who scalped herself as a baby younger than op's) wore a disposable cloth make up wipe on her head until it just fell off with the remaining scabbing after everything was healed...

If she keeps fighting, I'd continue trying to treat. If she stops fighting, I'd put her down. Warmth can do rather miraculous things with drawing birds back from the brink.

If the skull is intact, then her odds are much better. Still not guaranteed, but much better than if her brain is exposed. I know that I would try to help them, but at the same time you have to take care to not drag it out longer because of yourself. The reason I asked if she was crested was...
