[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 431612, member: 5601"] Re: Bingo! That is what I thought from the beginning and from photo #2. The little guy has a bad case of external parasites. Give him a shot of Ivomec and spray a light coat of Blu-Kote on exposed skin and wounds. It’s either that or is being caused by the fly spray you are using on your calf. It is not uncommon to find maggots in poop as that is where flies usually lay their eggs. How ever, as maggots only eat dead flesh(skin) and you find them on the animal there has to be a wound of some sort for a fly to lay her eggs there. External parasite bites are the most common cause of skin wounds. SL And you all had a hay day laughing at me when I said give him an aspirin. Now it’s my turn.
