Re: Cuterebra Larvae Removal From a Mouse
I'm curious to know why it took the owner of that great dane so long to take it to the vet and have those removed. There had to be at least a couple of hundred larvae they removed. What grosses me out more than the number of larvae is the idea that all of those vets removed them bare handed.

Re: Cuterebra Larvae Removal From a Mouse
At least in humans, you can coat/pack the opening with petroleum jelly and put tape over it, suffocating and killing the worm.. Botflies have barbed "feet" all over them, and when alive will dig into the flesh to be prevented from being removed..notice the mouse was bleeding :( |

Re: Cuterebra Larvae Removal From a Mouse
I see how nice everyone is here. That's how they are on reddit at times. Sometimes you meet really nice people on there too though, my bestie and I met there. If you go to the subs that have a lot of traffic, people tend to hide behind anonymity. Thank you for welcoming me in. I'm posting from an iPad and it's giving me trouble with links! |

Re: Cuterebra Larvae Removal From a Mouse
When my late middle brother and I were up late and bored, we'd train the mice to come to the food. We used to name them, but, then, there were more than we could keep track of. Fast little buggers! They have a keen sense of smell! |
