Yesterday half my flock was attacked in the early morning. Nothing was left except piles of feathers and 1 decapitated carcass. My female turkey is badly injured. She can stand and move a bit, but her head just hangs down. She has several wounds on her back under her wing areas as well. I have cleaned the area with colloidal silver, but nothing else. She can't drink or eat with her injuries so I've syringe with electrolytes, colloidal silver and small amount of cbd for pain. I have her confined as well. What else can I do to help her or is it too late. She's my Sweetie bird!

After an attack they go into shock. Turkeys do not do well with pain. Best you can do is keep it quiet and warm, and give it time. I wouldn't expect much for the first few days. If it makes it through the first few days it should eventually heal up as long as nothing is broken. Those wounds aren't too bad. I've seen worse heal up. It probably won't eat or drink for a few days and that's okay. After 3 days you may want to offer water in a syringe if it still isn't drinking. Food my take longer. Hopefully by a week it's perked up some.
