Ok I have a new foster kitten Rio. Who came into our rescue about a month ago with a huge nasty swore on his neck. Hes been at the vets since then but recently moved into my home so he could get some socialization. Anyways the swore ended up being from a Cuterebra maggot. The thing was HUGE!
He did pretty good for awhile at which point he was moved here last week. Then he started having signs of a URI so he got put on Clavamox. Then I noticed his nose looked like it was swelling up.
So off we rushed to the E-vet and they said he had an Cuterebra up his nose! They said they could remove it because if it busted open he would die of shock.
So I took him to our vet that the rescue uses. They removed it and it was sooo gross and even bigger then the other one. About the size of an olive. It had eaten threw most of the tissue in his nose. So he has one huge open area in his nose.
My question is will this affect his life in the future? Like will he have problem because he has one big nose whole instead of the two different areas? Could have more somewhere in his body. He had been treated with capstar twice which aparently is supposed to kill them but it didnt kill either one of them.
Im really freaking out thinking he has more soemwhere in his tiny little body. Hes only about 11 weeks old. Anyone dealt with this before.
Heres a link about Cuterebras.
