This little guy beat the odds! He came in 5 weeks ago covered in maggots, he had several deep bite wounds on his body that had allowed hundreds of maggots to get inside his body cavity and live deep inside his wounds, eating him from the inside out.
Typically once this happens the animal is too far gone to save. Maggots are devistating, in just a few days they can eat their way into a living animal and eat them from the inside out.
This little guy looked at me when he came in and he had fire in his eyes, he wasnt ready to go...so i decided to keep fighting for him and see what happens.
Countless hours every day for 6bdays i picked maggots out of his wounds, wound flush after wound flush and all the while he just let me do my work, like he knew i was there to help.
Healing was slow but he made a full recovery, all of the maggots where removed from his wounds and the wounds started to close. He started to gain weight and had perked up considerably.
He was a great patient, so polite, just a joy to have around...but he told me he was ready to go home now🌳🌈🌲
Have a great life little dude!♥️
