CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Does salt kill maggots?

1. Does salt kill maggots?

Yes, but it needs to be soaked in high-concentration salt water for a long time.

Maggots are insects of the suborder Cycloschisis in the order Diptera. Because the head and mouthparts are extremely degenerate, they are called headless larvae. In particular, fly maggots are rich in nutrition and have good palatability. They contain a variety of amino acids and fatty acids necessary for animal bodies, as well as a large amount of vitamins and trace elements. They are a high-quality protein source.

Maggots are flies that hatch from eggs laid by flies after several hours at 15℃~40℃. They are about two centimeters long and move by crawling. Modern science has discovered that maggots are rich in protein and can be used as medicine or food. Maggots are the pathogen of myiasis and the larvae of flies. They are also called meat worms and meat granules. When it comes to flies, everyone has seen them, but not everyone knows them in detail.

Additional information:

Although myiasis poses a certain threat to humans and animals, it is not terrible and can be prevented and controlled. Eliminating flies is not only an important measure to eliminate pests and diseases, but also the best way to prevent myiasis. Improve the sanitary environment, eliminate and reduce the breeding grounds of maggots, handle human and animal feces and garbage properly, and pay more attention to sanitary management in special industries such as meat, aquatic products, leather food processing plants, pig farms, etc.

Effective prevention measures include eliminating the breeding environment of maggots, isolating breeding organisms so that flies cannot come into contact with food to lay eggs, installing screens on windows, doors and screens to prevent flies from coming into contact with food, and spraying with drugs.

It is not terrible for people and animals to be infected with myiasis. Ask a doctor to remove the maggots and they will recover quickly after treatment. If an animal is infected with myiasis, remove the maggots completely from its wounds and rotten areas, clean the rotten tissue together, disinfect the wound, prevent it from contacting flies again, and the wound will heal quickly.

Killing maggots with drugs: Fly larvae are generally concentrated and sensitive to drugs, so it is a good time to kill them with drugs. Commonly used drugs include organophosphorus, such as trichlorfon, malathion, fenitrothion, and cypermethrin; carbamates include dichlorvos and pyrethroids.

Internal parasites and external parasites are two different things and will not infect each other. The above symptoms should be canine hookworm infection, which generally will not survive for a long time in the outside world. Just take a bath 2-3 days after deworming. Pay attention to the dog's nutritional supplements and keep warm. Deworming medicine should be fed according to weight, and the amount must be accurate, otherwise it will not be completely injected or poisoning will occur.

You can only blame yourself for being careless, and you only discovered it now.

If there is a veterinary station, I hope you can take your dog to see a doctor as soon as possible.

If there is really no infection, you can disinfect and reduce inflammation by yourself and observe it for the time being.

1 Check its diet and daily life to see if there are any abnormal patterns

2 See if his condition worsens further.

It's better to take it to a regular hospital. The puppy is quite pitiful.

5. My dog ​​got hurt in a fight. There was a big hole on its neck and maggots were growing inside. It was a Tibetan mastiff. I didn't want it to die.

You clean those things inside it, disinfect it with alcohol, apply some medicine to it, and then bandage it with a breathable bandage. Wait for a day or two and then clean it up. In this way, it will get better, and it will remember the kindness and be more obedient and sensible than usual.
