Medical Maggots are now being used to treat problematic wounds in animals, just as in humans.
These include traumatic and post-surgical wounds.
Dosage (5-10 larvae/square centimeter), warnings, and application methods are the same as for humans.
More information can be found on the
package insert/span>
You can read about some of the wounds successfully treated in dogs, cats, horses, and other animals,

Medical Maggots™ are indicated for use in the care and treatment of chronic wounds ("wound care") of humans or other animals
for the following indications: For debriding non-healing necrotic
skin and soft tissue wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers,
neuropathic foot ulcers and non-healing traumatic or post surgical wounds.
Medical Maggots™ are used to clean ("debride") and manage wounds in a procedure known as "maggot therapy."
Sometimes wound debridement using maggots is also called "maggot debridement therapy," "MDT," "larva therapy," "larval therapy,"
"larva debridement therapy," or "biodebridement."
In the United States, Medical Maggots™ are regulated by the Food and
Drug Administration as a prescription only medical device used in the care and treatment of wounds. Read all packaging information carefully.
