nksyd Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi, would really appreciate any info / suggestions on flystrike. My new little girl (rescued from the pound) has had flystrike on her ear. It's now just a few scabs but I'm not sure if I should be treating it or if I should be aware of it getting worse etc? I'm not even entirely sure what causes it. Thanks in advance for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Smear vaseline on it a few times a day. This will help prevent any more fly bites and it will soften the scabs and the skin for better healing. In Summer you may need to apply the vaseline thicker to keep the flys from biting. There are also commercial producuts available from pet supply stores and Vets.
