First off, re the eye injury, I just want to say I really feel it better if a vet pack that for you and give you instr on how to treat and meds. IF you truly cannot get to a vet , then here are my thoughts based on the wound management articles I have read (links at bottom of post)
FIRST:
Your bird is in shock and needs electrolytes...she may find it difficult to drink on her own so you will need to regularly dribble the rehydrating electrolyte solution along her beak to encourage her to drink (do nOT squirt in beak as it will get into her lungs)... your feed store should have this (DURVET electrolytes/vitamin mix) here is the dosage for the durvet electr/vit:

If you have the 4 oz. packet of (Durvet) Vitamins and Electrolytes then you would mix ½ teaspoon into 1 gallon of water.
If you have the 8 oz. packet of (Durvet) Vitamins and Electrolytes then you would mix ¾ teaspoon into 1 gallon of water "
You need to make FRESH daily
if you do not have this (DURVET) in your house and cannot get to the feed store to get it today,as a stop-gap solution you can give some diluted childrens pedialyte... if you do not have that and cannot get to the feed store today for the electrolytes then here is an emergency electrolyte solution (the first is better to use than the second):
From "Practical Wildlife Care" by Les Stocker:
It is possible to mix your own equivalent oral rehydrating salts by using the following ingredients:
7g sodium chloride (NaCl, common salt)
5g sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
3g potassium chloride ( >Salt substitutes contain mostly potassium chloride>commonly called "Muriate of Potash")
40g glucose (a common source is corn syrup)
2 litres water
The solution must be mixed thoroughly and discarded after 24 hours.
or>>> if you do not have the ingredients for the above:
NOTE FROM DL: (emergency electrolyte solution WHO):
1 cup of water
2 tsp. sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking soda
Make sure the neosporin you have does not have the pain relief med in it.
NEXT:
Make up some sterile saline... >you can do this by boiling 1/2 tsp salt in one half gallon of water for seven minutes. Cool to room temp . Put in a bottle (also sterile) of some sort in order to SQUIRT/FLUSH it into the eye cavity
...it is important to flush out any and all loose debris! Fan with something to air dry then gently pack with neosprin packed gauze ... repeat twice daily If the eye is totally gone and only the cavity remaining (if you do not have the neosporin triple antibiotic creme (or only the one with the pain med which is nOT to be used) then you can use gauze soaked in honey) until you can get some GRANULEX V > here is a link to show the product which you can get usually in the horse section of your feed store or order from this link:

>>>flush with saline and use neosporin and granulex V for the neck wound also.
It would be a good idea to try and find some AMOXCILLIN as recommended in the avian wound management article below:
http://www.worldwidewounds.com/2003/august/Cousquer/Avian-Wound-Assessment.html
"...broad spectrum antibiotics can be provided in the first instance: clavulanic acid potentiated amoxycillin (150mg/kg orally or subcutaneously) will provide cover against most aerobes and anaerobes. ..."
