turkey abscess near butt

[Mmfarm119]

I noticed one of my turkeys having this big red abscess near its butt. It had maggots, its quite large and its red. At first we thought its insides were outside but after further inspection, it is an abscess connected right outside the butt. Any ideas on what it could be or what to do to help? The internet has barely any information on turkeys. Thanks for all your help!

Can you share a picture? Did the turkey have manure on it's bottom anywhere? I would assume you will need to do wound care which includes cleaning, flushing and possibly antibiotics. It's probably best to find a vet.
