First, calm down.

Next, make her a really comfortable bed in a quiet, dark place.

Next, mix a 50% peroxide solution and clean the wound as well as you can. Then, put neosporin all over the wound, making sure that the neosporin doesn't contain any pain relief meds. Keep the wound clean and covered in medicine 2x per day.

Give her fresh water with electrolytes/vitamins and plenty of food.

Put her in her comfy bed and keep a close watch on her. If you think she is in pain, you can melt a baby aspirin in her water.

She looks bad but I think she has a great chance..her eyes are still sparkly and clear.

She's keeping one eye closed...but she's been awake and curious,she was exploring when I found her

Her eye might be injured. Just keep her cleaned up and quiet.

its the eye on the opposite side and she opened it to look at me for a second and it looked fine, she is also tilting her head that direction, i did what you said but she wont eat oor drink i will give her some time then try again

Give her some time to recover. It has been a huge trauma. If she doesn't start drinking, use a dropper and drip it into her beak. If you can get electrolytes into her, that would really help. Right now though, she needs to just rest.

Keep us posted.
