Turkey with cheek lump.

It's good to recognize when outside help is needed. Best of luck to you and your boy.

I, too, decided to make an incision myself. The skin is very thick so it takes a bit to get through. I cut roughly a 1/2" incision about 1/4" deep. Got lots of blood for a bit but it eventually stopped. I wiped and cleaned the area and tried to squeeze anything out but to no avail. I got a bit of clear, jelly like mucus but the whole cheek remained full. Any ideas? I put some oxytetracycline ointment on it. It is still open with some jelly stuff on the incision now

I am going to tag @casportpony since she has posted about this (cutting open the cheek for draining pus) in the past.
