She was squeezing as she was talking and she said "OH here we go!" and this little solid black thing popped out. She looked at it closer and told me it looked like FLY LARVAE!!!!  My poor baby! But I have antibiotics for her now and some liquid to wipe the area twice a day to keep it clean. Hopefully it heals well. I'm so glad it's gone! |
This happened to Maddie once, but it was a white thingie...a maggot! She had a tick bite and the vet figured a fly laid an egg in that spot. I nearly freaked. That was in the summer and it was hot and very humid. Having that happen now is really strange, being so cold. As I was reading your thread and looking at the pictures, I thought it looked and sounded so much like what happened with Maddie, but I figured that couldn't be it when we still have winter weather.
Layla should heal up quickly, as I remember Maddie's healed up in no time. I'm so glad you got that taken care of. I would think it would be very bothersome...and probably painful until that creepy thing is removed!
