[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 431629, member: 5601"] OK, you will probably find them in his arm pits also. The maggots are not your real problem, they are only a symptom. Maggots are actually good as they eat dead tissue and help stop in cause from spreading. But if you feel you must get rid of them, use hydrogen peroxide straight out of the over the counter bottle. Just poor it on. Your real problem is what is causing the wounds that are causing the flies to lay their eggs on him. Look closely on his skin for anything that looks like flea bites in unaffected raw areas on the inside of his legs. Look for them on your arms while you work on him. Do you feel bites on you in your most tender areas? If you don’t have Blu-Kote to spray his wounds, just wash them with hydrogen peroxide and leave them alone. They will heal. Your most recent pic says it all to me. He is infested with fleas, mites, lice or some other external parasite. A shot of ivomec (over the counter) will cover them all. Please keep us posted SL [/QUOTE]
