This happened to one of our yorkies years ago. We came home from vacation and I noticed a dried bloody spot on her neck. When I cleaned her off I noticed that she had a little hole with something moving inside it. I pushed down on it and low and behold up popped what looked like a maggot. I freaked...of course. I called the vet and he explained that they are called bore worms and they live in the grass. He said he has numerous cases each summer and she would be fine. I have not seen one since....to my pleasure. |
