I had no clue antibiotic cream suffocated them!? Darn. Well my screw worm spray is doing a pretty good job for now. Does the cream actually kill them or will they go crawling to other parts of the body like I had a problem with?
That's what I meant! Lol yes I can use the search feature. I'll have to check it outOintment, not cream. The greasy stuff, like vaseline. The answer to your last question I don't know, sorry. Just sharing what someone else said. Can you use the search feature here? My phone/ device won't let me cut/paste any more. I used-to could, but it's been removed in a so-called "upgrade."
Yay!!
I posted earlier with a link from The Chicken Chick where she suggests to spray with Vetericyn or use Betadine in the bath water, squirting it up into the wound. She suggests not using antibiotic ointment since it makes the wound moist which maggots like. Here is the link under treatment:
Thank you!
I thought that's what I read too from the chicken chick that ointment would make it moist! That's why I went with the spray. It seemed to have dried it out really good and deter any other flies from coming near him. I'm hoping the same exact thing! It's so weird not seeing him around the yard. I'll be deep cleaning the coop this weekend and treating it with the screw worm spray as well. Although he doesnt spend much time in or near the coop since they free range. Just gonna get it ready so he can hopefully be back outside soon
