It's a medical condition called "myasis". In the interim, with the application of palm oil to each maggot cave, remove them as many times as u need to. Then contact ur Vet. A mild antibiotic should do the magic. Myasis occurs when ur dog sleeps or spends longer hours on damp surfaces. It is understandable during this rainy season. Act fast bro, myasis is harmful to dogs. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: How Do I Treat Maggots On My Dog by Sobala: 2:35am On Jun 15, 2016 |
its not mange, two very different things 1. Restrain your pet if necessary. Maggot infested areas of skin can be very painful, and a pet may bite as a reflex. 2. Use blunt tip scissors or electric clippers and clip the affected areas to remove soiled and matted hair. Fur traps bacteria and keeps reinfecting the wound. 3. Remove all maggots with blunt-nosed tweezers, a gauze pad, or tissue. Wear a pair of disposable medical gloves to avoid touching the worms. 4. Wash infected areas with Betadine solution and dry the dog. If you are using water to flush the wound, flush the area for at least 15 minutes. As the maggots escape the wound to avoid drowning, you are then able to easily pick them off. Water will rinse away any remaining fly eggs that haven't hatched. 5. Then spray or shampoo the dog using a non-alcohol based product that contains pyrethrins and check closely for remaining maggots. 6. Topical antibiotic ointments such as Neosporin can be used to assist in fighting infection. Be sure this ointment is out of "licking range" to avoid the oral consumption of the medicine. Dogs with infected wounds should be treated with oral antibiotics. If the dog is debilitated, her health and nutrition must be improved to bring about a cure. Cleaning maggots out of a wound is only the first step, and often, the tissue damage is severe. Healing may take a long time, and wound care is important to ensure that more infection doesn't develop. 3 Likes |

obagoriola: Sorry about that Bro. How old is the dog? This happened when the sleep where they poop and piss. Flies perch on their faces an urine depositing tiny eggs which grows into larva (not maggots). Best way to treat such condition is first wash the cage or wherever your dog sleeps with hypo and disinfect with dettol, then take your dog out to to open, try to locate swollen lumps on the body indicating the presence of these larvae then apply palmoil on these spots(the palmoil forces the larvae to the top), remember to wear your gloves. Gently press them out until you are convinced they are all out, take your dog away and squash them. After that give your dog a bath with warm water mixed with dettol. Be ready to have your dog scream, it's normal. If you can do this and bath it with dettol for at least 2 times a week for 1 month, it should cure it. All the best. 3 Likes |

obagoriola: hello OP, Oga Arcbay and Steven1234 have the best answers you need. Buh when using disinfectant, bleach( hypo, jik....) or any chemical on your dog be sure the dog don't lick or somehow ingest it Cos the outcome is very fatal. Best amongst all answers so far is from Arcbay. Thanks |

Ike4God: Ike4God: Please why will you advise a novice to do such self medication where there are people that can do it better and how come you give your dogs what you don't know and can't even give the right spellings for them, I think if you are doing that just do it alone and to your dogs than involving other people into it which is very bad. And OP I strongly go against that, if you want to follow this you are on your own 1 Like |

I'm a vet, would have tell you the medication to use but since your newbie and if you give this injection wrongly your dog might be stooling blood so the best to do is remove the ones you can and call your vet to do the rest. 1 Like |
