Obviously, having a veterinarian treat the infection is the preferred course of action, but absent that luxury, most uncomplicated cases of flystrike can be managed at home. Repeat steps 3-7 two to three times per day until the maggots are gone and the wound is fully healed.Avoid ointments as maggots appreciate a moist, goopy, warm environment. This step may obviate the need for antibiotics in many cases of flystrike. Spray Vetericyn Wound & Infection treatment on the area affected by flystrike.A hair dryer set on low heat can make quick work of it.
If any of the feathers are in the way or preventing complete drying of the area, simply cut them. (Peroxide is an acceptable substitute for the first cleaning or two, but don’t continue using it because peroxide can kill live tissue, preventing the area from healing properly.) If the wound is very deep, use a syringe to squirt the solution into the cavity. Flush the wound with either Betadinediluted in water, saline water or Vetericyn spray.Physically remove visible maggots in, on and surrounding the wound.Bathe the chicken, submerging the affected area in water, to assess the extent of the wound and drown as many maggots as possible.Offer the chicken vitamins & electrolytesin the drinking water for a day or two and keep her hydrated.
It should remain isolated in Chicken Hospital until the infection has healed fully.
