This is Myiasis — a maggot infestation on Billy’s right hindlimb. It happens when flies lay eggs on wounds, dirt, or matted fur. Then the eggs hatch... and the damage starts.
But Billy—our patient, didn’t give up. Successful surgical removal done. Wound cleaned. Treatment started. Now he’s on the road to healing ❤️🩹.
MAIN CAUSES OF MYIASIS:
▪️Untreated wounds or sore
▪️Poor hygiene + dirty/matted fur
▪️Feces & urine on fur
▪️Ticks, fleas, or skin infections
▪️Neglected health issues
▪️Outdoor / dirty environment
Happidogs Veterinary Clinic offers affordable tick/flea prevention + wound care to help keep this from happening.
Remember: Prevention is always cheaper and kinder than surgery.
