So for right now it's electrolytes, antibiotics, and pain reliever in the water and Neosporin on the open areas a couple times a day. Checked on her a few minutes ago- she's alive and has ate and drank. She laid an egg overnight, so her body's not in shutdown mode.

If she doesn't die from shock in the next 48 hours or pick up an infection she should be ok. Honestly she'll be 50/50 for at least a week. After that is just letting her heal alone so the other birds don't pick at her wounds.
Glad she's hanging in there...

How did your DD take it when she got home from school?
