Head jury, swelling side of face

[ladyjay26]

My Turkey was injured by something. He tongue went through the bottom of her soft pallet. Had to sow her up but her tongue died. She's running a fever and really not acting herself. I'm really worried that she's going to die. What can I do for her. She is an awesome mom and she is a pet. Please help

I am sorry your are having to deal with this right now.
Do you know what injured her?
Is she drinking water?..it's very important.
Can you post pictures of her wounds?

Not sure what injured her. I'll get pictures tomorrow. She is in a holding pen. I use for new arrivals and the sick. I think she is drinking but I am going in and giving her honey and water mix couple times a day. . Use silvadeen on her wounds. Her laceration looks like it's healing. Her left side of face is swollen. I will post a pic tomorrow morning when I go outside to check on every buddy.

Poor girl, that sounds like she's having a bad time.
As always, if a vet visit is possible/reasonable: do that before taking any advice I have to give!
Honey is good for quick calories if she's not eating well - make sure to give a poultry vitamin supplement also though (actually, do this even if she's eating normally, it'll help her recover).
I've noticed turkey faces can swell up pretty much any time there's a sinus/respiratory issue. After an injury like that, I'd probably see if the swelling was getting better or worse for a day or two before changing anything. If it's not getting better after a few days, there might be a secondary infection setting in while her immune system is compromised. If that's the case, consider giving an antibiotic.

Her eye is better. Swelling gone down. Giving supplements sinse her trauma. She started eating better this morning. Healing looks to be coming a long nicely. She started preening so I hope she will be okay.

Great news..I'm glad she is getting better.
Can I ask what supplements you have been giving?

This is what I use for my birds. Little miss is doing great. Swelling almost gone and she has 2 eyes again. I was so worried about her. She's only 1.5 years and very sweet. This is the supplement that I used along with putting her in her own enclosure
