Agreed. Plucking feathers is no fun at all but digging out maggots is even worse.If you haven't already GET THOSE FLY EGGS OFF NOW! Pluck feathers if you have to, this could go from bad to impossible very quickly. Maggots can hatch in as little as 8 hours! If you don't, you will have to pluck out maggots when they bury into the wound, and given the number of eggs, ohboy not good. I will keep your duckie in my prayers. Good on you getting him to the vet and being a good mommy!
Still can’t believe the vet didn’t do anything about the fly eggs.. was that what the ivermectin was for or was it unrelated?
