I rescued 5, 4 week old kittens, and they had bot flies, which I'm guessing isn't much different than maggots. I quadruple checked that there were none left in them, and to make sure they were NONE dead left in the holes, because the insects release toxins when they die, and this sends the body into shock. I cleaned out the wounds thoroughly and 3x a day washed out the wounds with iodine. They eventually healed with small scarring. As for the liquid droppings, pumpkin mash is non toxic and works as a firming agent
[COLOR=FF0000]The Grossest Day I Ever Had![/COLOR] So this punk showed up a couple of days ago all by it self and has been avoiding me like the plague! Last night my DH brought in the old ham tray I use for chicken treats with this in it! I am calling it Ham for now but it is in rough shape which proved even worse as the day progressed. I had to wash it a couple of times cuz it pooed on itself it weighs less than a sheet of paper and so I wanted to hold off on the flea and trauma bath until it at least had a real poop. That has not been the experience so far. After drying it off with a towel from the second leg and bum washing the skin on her hip opened up and miniature maggots started crawling out! This has got to be the grossest thing I have ever seen! I washed them all out with Vinegar and water and gave her a bath in Dawn dish soap to kill fleas and filled all holes on her bottom with antibiotic cream. She survived that but I am not sure she will make it, I will give her the best shot I can cuz ewwww. She is now occupying my Chicken medical crate with food water litter and a heating pad. since all my brooders are full! I have done pet rescue in the past and bottle fed many different species of animal cleaned nasty wounds and fixed mucked up ears and eyes. But I have never encountered something like this! according to the internet it is not so uncommon. Has anyone ever? any healing suggestions or what to watch for? I suspect she is 4 - 6 weeks old.
