[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 107981, member: 60"] YES! Maggots can kill a calf! and in a very short time. Under the right conditions (intense heat), the fly eggs hatch within minutes of being laid. While the "medicinal" maggots may not damage live flesh, these things release a toxin that kills the flesh so that they can eat it. I've had healthy CLEAN rabbit kits, killed and consumed in less than 2 hours by maggots. 3 years ago I had a heifer calf that was infested with maggots. The vet saved her with a double dose of Ivomec to kill the maggots that were inside her body. Ann B [/QUOTE]
