Answer to Freaky Friday's post 🚨 Cuterebra 🚨

This little kitten was examined for a lump by its ear.

Did you know that pets—especially curious cats and dogs that spend time outdoors—can be affected by cuterebra (botfly larvae)? These parasites enter through the skin and develop under the surface, creating a lump that can look alarming.

⚠️ Why monitor your pets?

Cuterebra can cause painful swellings or open wounds.

If left untreated, they may lead to infection or more serious health issues.

Early detection and proper removal are key—attempting to squeeze or remove them at home can harm your pet.

👀 What to watch for:

Sudden swelling or lumps under the skin

A small breathing hole in the center of a lump

Excessive grooming, scratching, or signs of discomfort

✅ What to do:
If you notice anything unusual, contact us right away. Our veterinary team can safely treat your pet and prevent complications.
