Strange wound on all of my rabbits

[drumma]

My wife just pointed out that I gained 100lbs in my last comment I'm 265 not 365.

Also just wanted to post an update for anyone that was interested. I'm still not seeing ay signs of larval growth yet. So I"m keeping an eye on it.

The human bot fly is only found in tropical areas but animal bot flies are found throughout the US. Rather than squeezing I would recommend covering the hole with a heavy coat of vaseline. This will cause the bot fly to extend its breathing tube looking for air. You can then grab the breathing tube with tweezers and pull the larvae out. Don't jerk it as that might tear the larvae and cause an infection. Just use steady pressure and give it time to slowly pull out. The larvae only feed on live tissue so it actually exudes a substance that prevents infection. It's rare for infection to set in where a bot fly has been pulled out whole.
