How to treat a puppy's maggot wound when no vet is available?

Question

We have 6 puppies among them 2 got wounds.. I put few drops of fenyl to that wound so maggots started coming out of the wound in one puppy.. Another is having simple wound.. Suggest the further treatment please as we dont have any vet doctor around. I am attaching 2 photos of maggot wound after putting fenyl. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male

Does fenyl =phenol? If so, it is extremely poisonous and corrosive to skin and body tissues so don't use it!! You can flush maggots out of wounds with hydrogen peroxide solution 3%. But you then must flush the wound very well with sterile saline or sterile water. I don't know if your puppies will survive if the maggots have gone deep inside. I'm sorry.
