as we are dedicated persons for welfare of stray animals in india.We do all types of treatments after training from doctors.I have seen many times some persons throw patrol dieasel and old black used mobile oil on wounds of animals having maggots in them.My experience is that it will kill maggots but it will also produce bad affect on wound.we clean these types of wounds with bitadine and use creams in them.after patrol in wounds process of cure becomes slow.ppl say just pour the medicated spray and maggots will kill in wounds.but we take out every maggot from wound with plukkers whether it takes 5 hour.we think if maggot got killed in wound then it can still infect the wound.so we take it out.we use some phenyl to take out maggots .What do u think? The cases are on our web site www.sickanimals.teach-nology.com

In our emergency room, we killed the maggots in wounds with betadyne and then sponged it mostly out, and then flushed with copious hydrogen peroxide 3%

The oil will do good on certain skin problems such as fleas and ticks, and even help with mange, but for infected wounds with maggots, I recommend peroxide. I assume that you have some problem with finances in your work so you can't buy every thing you may need, so you have to use many home remedies to work with. A solution of epsom salts (Magnesium sulfate) will kill the maggots and a vinegar wash will cleanse the wound. If Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) is availalbe,,,a very dilute solute will also cleanse the wound...it is a little painful...but effective in cleaning up the wound. The oils should be used on unbroken skin. Many places use an oil soaked rope in the dogs' enclosure to allow the animal to rub against it and it seems better than direct application.

Yes dead maggots will make the infection worse. When there is no better medicine available the maggots do the ancient traditional medicine of cleaning the wound of dead tissue that otherwise prevents healing and causes gangerene to set in, and greenish awful semlling festering yellowish pus will ooze out. You must flush out the wound, changing dressing twice daily usually to make sure it stays drained and infection free, but not wrap so tight it doesn't get the blood flow it needs to heal. And use a good anti-biotic. Betadine is good, as you know agents like alcohol only kill skin tissue, they are good for sterilizing but not for helping a wound heal.

sure i'd stay vegan. To me it really is a life, no longer categorised as any species, it really is a life. i'm inquisitive about human rights although that's problematical for me to pretend that each and every one human life is extra useful than an animals, via corrupt and immoral issues human beings have finished for hundreds of years. i'm no longer precisely vegan because the animals are killed barbarically and with out care, because you and that i comprehend that isn't substitute over evening or perhaps in a decade. it is also the political aspect to it, those animals are killed for grasping money hungry manufacturers, and the human beings that are contributing and ingesting to take section in this are both ignorant or thoroughly careless. So ultimately, in the adventure that they were killed painlessly and hastily i'd nevertheless stay vegan, because maximum folk see that because the superficial clarification for going or staying vegan, yet below all of it that's truly about speaking up for the unvoiced, protecting something or someone that has never exploited our life, compared to human beings.
