Swollen Face!

[lilybug51]

I have a turkey poult who was perfectly fine yesterday morning when I came back from horse ride his face was swollen. I thought it was probably a sting from something (horseflies are terrible right now) overnight he's gotten significantly worse...his face is so swollen he can't open his eyes, beak is open and there was drool/snot running out. Wiped his face and tried to give him some water, put him on a lower perch with his girlfriend for comfort. What is this? What do I do?

Oof. That sounds terrible. You should see a vet or someone that has experience with turkeys, but maybe try to keep him fed?
