 Starsky had a maggot in him! Gross!
Starsky had this bug bite on him which I thought was a mosquito bite that was getting infected. I watched it for a week because it had a head on it and I thought it was going to heal. Well it was getting worse and since I had to work today, I had my husband take him to the vet. The vet took the head off of the bump and squeezed some stuff out. She said the hole wasn't big enough to get the wormy thing out. So she took Starsky in the back and gave him a local and cut it out. She came back and asked my husband if he wanted to see it and he said yes. It was a white maggot with a black head. GROSS! I was glad he took him and not me. I guess the vet said they usually see this about 2 times a year and this year they have seen it 6 or 7 times. Flies can lay eggs on our little guys, so watch it.
Has anyone else ever heard of this happening?
Starsky is okay now. Just have to put neosporin on it. |
