Emergency torn neck please help ASAP

be prepared for her not to make it through the night, the shock and the bad wound, possible nerve damage too may be to much for her. I'm sorry to say this, but i would stop the suffering myself right now, i do whats I believe to be the best for the animal(any animal) not whats best for me.
I understand and I am prepared to find her dead tomorrow but I'm going to do my best to help her if I can.
 
Make sure that flies do not get at the wound to lay eggs. Right now I would be tempted to just lightly apply Neosporin and keep her quiet and secluded. Hopefully tomorrow she will be less in shock and you can try giving some electrolytes/water. Good luck. A lot depends upon how much damage has been done to muscles or bones. I have seen birds heal from serious scalp and neck skin injuries. It is a long process, but hopefully she will make it.
 
I agree with Sourland to keep her quiet and not overstimulate her until she is not in shock. Vetericyn wound spray is a good product that can just be sprayed on to clean the wound. Saline also works well. The plain neosporin will be good later to help prevent infection and flies. Infection may be a worry, but nutrition will be most important. By tommorrow if she cannot drink fluids when you hold a small cup up to her beak you may want to check into tube feeding in Casportpony's thread "Go team tube feeding." Tomorrow offer her feed mixed with a lot of water mixed in a bowl. Give her chopped egg or raw mixed into the feed. Let us know how she does.

okay thank you for the advice, I have some natural animal wound spray that I'm going to apply but I'm not sure how to keep away the bugs.
