Chicken was hurt, treated, but maggots (or something) are now coming out

Here is a section of an article I did, hopefully this can help give you quick info:

Here are websites I found for my article that include what I would consider good treatments for flystrike. They are mostly flystrike relating to a poopy butt but I would think that same rules would apply here:

Hen was pinned by a dog, had feathers pulled out. Found her maybe an hour or so after it happened. Cleaned her up, wound looked superficial so applied peroxide and blu-kote. She moves and drinks. Havent seen her eat yet. Set her up indoors last night. Now today she has worm-like things crawling on and out of her skin? They arent like any maggots ive ever seen though. They have two tiny antennae and appear to be INSIDE the skin. I was scrubbing with a soft brush and warm water and it looks like they're all gone (kind of) but then they immediately pour out from under the skin again. Now the hen is starting to smell bad as well. I posted for first aid kit suggestions but there was nothing for how to get rid of a living infestation. Help?
Turpentine will kill maggots.
Sugar in wounds will stop infection. Keep dry of water, keep in fly free quarters.
