We use ether to kill the maggots. This involves putting the lizard into a plastic bag with its head out and filling the bag with ether. Then using tweezers remove all the maggots. After this all the dead tissue is removed and the wound flushed with saline.
It is then dressed using a topical antibacterial ointment and covered with a dressing like Opsite.
It will probably need antibiotics as well.
It will probably also be dehydrated.

I agree with peter, good advice mate!
