I know it's been a long time.... having been down to two banty's for months, Erin brought home two chicks, I don't know what breed they are. One I lost about a week ago, something killed it. NOW, I have the second one and she is in a real mess, she's about 4 or 5 months old. Half of her tail head is ripped downward only held on by bone and the bottom half of the "meat". Sadly, I didn't notice this for a day or so and it is now covered in maggots. I have her inside and am flushing it with fresh water 3 or 4 times a day and covering it with neosporin, I'm also using Terramycin in her water. No matter how many times I flush and treat I can't get rid of the maggots. I have not taken pics yet, but if I need to I will. I'm desperate here, are there any tried and true ways to get rid of these things??? I've searched online and all I find is "Maggots are good, they eat dead or infected flesh and leave healthy flesh behind, but I can't buy that load.
