I will probably have to inject. Thank you for that!Also, she wouldn't really take scrambled egg, I got maybe 4 small pieces in her. I think it's because she doesn't know how to get it down, so I'll have to tube-feed her. I looked her over and haven't seen any other wounds. But her throat almost seems to still have food it in, I'm not sure because she did NOT like my touching it, but that's what it seems like.If there is infection then I'd probably give amoxicillin orally, but since the beak is so damaged you can get penicillin G procaine inject-able which might be better in this instance with the beak damage. It's available at Tractor Supply's, no rx, it's refrigerated. You will need syringes and needles. .5cc once a day in the breast muscle for 3 -7 days, alternate sides of breast. Here are instructions, scroll down to 'give injection' and 'treat with penicillin injection' right after:

If you think you can get amoxicillin down her, you can get it as 'fish mox' many places online with no rx. I usually mix it in coconut oil and refrigerate til firm, then give like a custom pill.
Any open wound can get infected. If you haven't done so already (I know you don't want to stress her out) you need to check her over well to make sure there are no other injuries hiding in feathers. Punctures can be hard to find.
