I need help this second! My turkey is dying!

Clean the wound first, Diluted chlorhexidine is safe as long as its away from the face, are the wounds on the face? It looks like it.

Is it possible to take the turkey to a vet?

Vet would be best if possible.

If not, give her electrolyte water, rinse the wound, and apply a disinfectant. It's best to leave it open to heal properly.

The electrolytes will give her an extra boost so that hopefully the stress and trauma aren't too much.

I'm so sorry! I hope she makes it. I would start by giving her electrolyte water. (I don't know too much, but usually that helps)

i gave her electrolytes thanks

I'm not an expert on turkeys, but I think they should be similar in treatment to chickens.

I would tend to the head wound first-I'm worried by the way it looks like she's gasping. How deep is it? Do you know if it punctured any vital organs?

The vet opens at ten if she lives until then I'll take her

I have never treated a turkey wound so i can give you little information. Maybe others will be more of help then me. @cherrynberry

i can tell you this. once the bird seems to be looking better, do a examination.

EYES:
Pupils should be equal in size. Unequal pupil size may indicate problems. If eyes are partly closed then the bird is unwell. One eye closed may mean an injury or infection. Check to see if the bird responds to the movement of your hand.

HEAD:

head nodding, head tilting and periods of eye closing can indicate severe illness or trauma.

BREATHING:

a healthy bird’s breathing is hard to detect. Laboured breathing may mean possible respiratory infection.

She is gasping for air. And her eyes are closed

Dogs and cats have a bacteria in their mouths that often causes birds to die upon being bitten due to infection. Hopefully she is okay. Im so sorry

 

[Lemon-Drop]

I really hope she'll be ok. I would rinse/try to clean with warm water, then disinfect the wounds. That head wound looks nasty, though.

I'm so sorry... I hope she makes it!!
