maggots in wounds

[bj taylor]

just an update on this goat. I think she's going to be fine. I say that with caution. things have not gone easy with my adventure in having goats - so, I don't want to jinx her. her wound seems to be closing. no further signs of infection. I cannot believe she is even alive. she has been such a trooper. she has tolerated all the medical attention so well with little complaint. another goat i'm treating for something else had to get a shot today - she acted like it was the end of the world.

Another product to keep on hands is Wonder Dust! It works Wonders!!!! I have used it on open sores on goats and chickens that were attacked by a mink and stripped of flesh! The powder aids in drying up and covering open areas while allowing them to breathe and heal slowly. It has a charcoal agent in it too I believe and helps to coagulate seepage and bleeding. Great stuff and goats healed fast and the chickens healed amazingly and to this day never know the horrific injuries existed! This would also prevent flies from bothering wounds.
