Close to nothing. When I cleaned it up I did give her some antibiotics and flushed all the holes I found in her leg with iodine. Got all the maggots out that I could find and then sprayed it with screw worm spray the next day. Otherwise I haven’t touched it.Good sequence of photos. What treatment did you give here? My money is on nothing, they tend to do better if we just leave them alone.

We moved her to a pen that is dry where I can keep a close eye on her while she heals.
Actually. . . I sent him pictures the next morning and asked him if I needed to trim any of the rough edges off to make it heal better. He said I could if I wanted to. I opted not to. Seems to be okay.And you didn't even call the vet!!!!??? :)
