Last Monday my littlest silkie was injured by my 1 year old. I was not in the yard when it happened and it seems like nobody knows what happened beyond she was hit with a toy. Immediately afterwards she was flopping on the ground and then settled into a very still state. I put her inside with a warming pad, in the dark and the next morning she was at least looking a little better. I syringe gave her water for days and now she stands on her own, but she tends to close her eyes a lot and seems to have no ability to find her water and food. My guess at this point is she is blind. Since I dont want to cull her I would like to talk to people who have delt with this and might be able to give me ideas on how to take care of her better. I hold the bowl up to her to help her drink now, and if I sprinkle her food on the ground she will scratch and peck and eat. She seems normal except for the eating and drinking bit at this point.
