@strangeincidents: This poor bunny is having this huge Botfly larvae in her chest and we are getting it removed right now. And this is how to do it. Take your pet to the vet right away. A veterinarian can accurately diagnose and treat a botfly infestation or wound fairly easily. They’ll take a look at the bump (and perform a CT scan if needed) to confirm it’s a botfly and rule out other parasites or infections. Botflies are officially diagnosed when the vet can see the larva inside the lump. Botflies are usually more disgusting than they are dangerous and aren’t considered a medical emergency. However, the sooner they’re removed, the lower the chances of infections or complications are. The vet will give your pet anesthesia. A local anesthetic around the infected area is common, but the vet may sedate your pet if they’re jumpy or uncooperative. This is to make sure your furry friend stays relaxed and pain-free during their procedure! They will also trim or shave the fur around the wound since it will be matted with discharge (and so they can access the wound easier). Once the wound is numbed and cleared of fur, the vet will disinfect the area for larva removal. #vettech #veterinarian #veterinary #kittens #kitten #cats #cat #bunnies #bunny #viralvideo #viral #PetsOfTikTok #warble #cuterebra #botfly
