I found a 2-3wk old baby yesterday morning in my yard. He has a lump on his left arm that I thought was some type of infected wound. I tried to drain it and didn’t get much. Then read around on here and stumbled upon some info regarding bot flies. I’m wondering if that’s what this baby has?
The mark is a round raised bump with a mark/scab in the center. Like a very raised bug bite.
The baby is behaving normally. Eating and urinating well. I have been having a time getting him to pass a BM but I think it’s due to having been dehydrated. Hopefully it will resolve.
Is there a treatment for bot fly? Or does it just run its course?
