[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1283915, member: 19938"] You have to be careful with peroxide though. Only flush with it a couple of times because it can damage healthy tissue also. Look closely for tunnels deep under the skin and flush them out repeatedly with dilute Betadine in a syringe. (Dilute to tea color with water.) Any dead maggots in those tunnels can cause a toxic infection. It sounds like you are doing all the right things! Injectable antibiotic, topical antibiotic and keeping clean. Remember that the flys laid eggs at different times, so you could have more hatch over the next couple of days or so. Swat found in the horse section, is a good antiseptic/fly repellent for wounds. Don't feel bad, it only takes 8-12 hours to have a bad maggot infestation. I just dealt with it in chickens. [/QUOTE]
