4 week old - Bot Fly

[Rhapsody]

I do believe one of my two new precious babies that are just four weeks old has two bot flies warbles on him with poss others to come.
I have never had to deal with these critters before in my 7 years of rehabbing so a little guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Here are pics I just took tonight of the two bumps I feel are warbles growing inside my little baby --is he at risk due to his young age?
Now I will BREATHE while I wait for the WISE ELDERS of this SITE to HELP ME and MY BABIES!!

FYI --Dipper was found on the ground laying in water a week ago, cold and wet.

Poor precious baby! I have one now 5 weeks old with 2 warbles on her back. I am just keeping an eye on them for now. I do not like to remove bot-flys if they are not interfering with body functions. If baby can eat, see, pee/poop with no problem then just leave them alone. It is very hard to just let them stay there, always makes my skin crawl-ugh!

Maybe a boost of nutrition will help ease the burden. Removing the bot larva is pretty traumatic, so as long as they're not really 'harming' the baby by making it hard to eat, breathe, etc, it's best to let them mature and drop out.

QUESTION:
When they do emerge..... will they be larva or full fledged Bot Fly (with wings and all)?
