Actually, even though it is horrific, and the injuries were severe, the maggots might have helped to prevent necrosis.

true! as discussing and nasty as the thought is of having maggots in sores. Doctors still use leaches for that reason.

You are right about the maggots, but do you know anyone who would take maggots over antibiotics. They would be less harmful in the long run.
Even the lowly maggot has its place in this world and helped to save the dogs life.

Even leeches are proving useful medically, but I would sure hate to have one on me.
It happened once when I was a kid and it feaked me out. Oddly for how upset I was, I was not actually harmed in any way. Undecided
