I have been reading up as much as I can but it seems like when it comes to attacks, it's so different case by case. Long story short, my silkie was attacked last tuesday. She looked traumatized and her eyes were shut but otherwise didn't see any open cuts. (i should have turned her over and checked) Her eyes were shut for two days and I was just giving her water mixed with her normal food. By day three her eyes opened but whenever I picked her up I smelled something on my fingers. She had an infection cause maybe caused a cyst and as I had her on the floor in the kitchen, it must have opened and pinkish brown stuff came pouring out, it smelled like death and was horrifying! I started calling all the vets in the area and no one would help...read online that I could give her baytril for her wound. Finally found a dr two towns over that said I could come in and get some. Bless him. She is doing much better, infection wise, but now I'm worried she'll never fully recover. 1 wing looks like its in the wrong place and she won't open that one on her own. She won't eat and drink on her own. Her eyes are only halfway open. I noticed a weazing noise when I feed her. How much should I even be feeding her?? Also, her mouth hangs open and she won't shut it. I see her, very often, banging the side of her beak/face on the ground.
Is she braindead?! Ugh please help, any advice or similar story where she pulled through??!
Thanks!
