I have managed to get rid of the maggots using Permethrin cream. Yesterday eve. I spent time tweezing off hundreds of maggots of all shapes and sizes. So gross! I felt so sorry for him. He was very lethargic and he let me attend to him 'tho he must have been in terrible pain. It happened so quickly-he was fine in the a:m but by evening he was a mess-covered in black diarhea with what appeared to be missing skin eaten by maggots. I could see what seemed like hundreds of tiny ones under the surface of his remaing skin writhing around-horrible. I pray they were killed by the permethrin. I washed him again today and did not see any live ones but, I am concerned they could be now internal. My question is what do I do for his black what appears to be missing sking? I am afraid to touch him there for fear of hurting him further. He was lively this morning but after his bath he had no energy & has spent the day sleeping off and on in the house. I am giveing him tetracycline as that is all I have. I plan on giving him Ivermectin later for dinner. He ate a small amount of mash & medicine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
