Wry neck after bobcat attack

[Angelbirdy]

We chased a bobcat out of the yard around 5 PM yesterday, but it had hauled my girl Jinx by the head, trying to get her over the fence.
I thought she was in death throes, but after a few minutes of stroking her she stood up. She has been bitten on the side and back of her head and began drooping her head down.
Care:
-immediate isolation on blankets in our dark closet.
-swabbed nostril area, as her breathing sounded like there was blood in her nostrils.
-offered a bowl of sugar water after she seemed to be calm.
Status:
-She survived the night and is standing, but now her head is drawn in and bobs in a small twitch, not a large movement.
-one eye remains closed, she can jerk her head up when I try to get her beak tip in to drink. Refusing the water, and I’m not sure how to syringe it in without drowning her.
-breathing isn’t noisy, she’s making no noise and hasn’t moved her location, just from laying to standing.
Advice:
Should I try forcing electrolyte/egg by syringe or avoid stressing her further and put her down? I know it’s hard to say not seeing her, but my gut says this is too severe.
She’s a 4 year old sex-link, and my guess is nerve/brain trauma and shock. I feel like I should have put her down right away and should do so now, but I wanted to give a

chance for the shock to wear off.

It could be neurological, it's hard to say. Given some time, I would see if she improves. I've had birds with weird neurological ticks before, reason unknown, as long as they are able to eat and drink and function with the flock they have done fine.
Since it was a bobcat, I would highly recommend that you get her on an antibiotic like amoxicillin. Cats in general carry a bacteria in their mouths that is very toxic to birds. If you have some, dose is 57 mg per pound of body weight, orally, twice a day for 5 - 7 days. I grind it up or empty capsules and mix with a little coconut oil and then freeze it til hard, then give like a custom pill. You can get it online as fish mox or aqua mox without prescription.
