Well the vet thinks its the cuterebra. The hole is not large enough to extract the larvae and irrigate so we have to put him under tomorrow to remove it. I wonder if I used a country Vet if they would deal with this differently. I read you could try to smother it with vaseline and it will come out on it's own. While he's out they will clean his teeth since his left side needs the work. If you remember two years ago Deuce had an abcess on a tooth that showed up on his cheek that the vet was stumped about. I had to take him to an oral surgeon to get the job done. He ended up with an extraction and a few more extractions to open up his bite since his teeth were so crammed. Well anyway the vets were a bit surprised that he got this since he is obviously a well cared for little boy that does not spend very much time in the great outdoors. Guess were were just the lucky ones. He is not uncomfortable but I will take him tomorrow morning and get this taken care of. I hate to leave him there. He is never in a cage. I know he will be so needy when I bring him home. My little boy!!!!! But by morning he will be himself. I will keep you posted. Damn fly larvae!!!!
