Hi there
I'm V and I am a new Turkey mom. I noticed that my male turkey Henry has a bit of a fat lip.

I went ahead and bought some meds as the store that I just add to water. The employee said it is probably/definitely worms. However I could really use some guidance on this.

Is providing the medicated water enough or Do I need to extract the worms from his lip?

The inside of his mouth looks fine but his bottom beak is not aligned with his top beak. It is bent to the side of the swelling.

FYI The swelling has been there for a couple weeks and has not increased or decreased.
