MAGGOTS!

Ugh!  Imagine Steph's 'surprise' when cleaning the hold in Dixie's chin....to see a lot of movement within!  Full of maggots....how revolting!  After 40 minutes with tweezers (poor Dixie), some water therapy and iodine later, they are mostly gone.  So, now it is to work with SWAT and preventative measures to keep the flies away!  Unfortunately her fly mask irritates the wound, but we have several different varieties to try, so hopefully we will find one that will fit.   Today it is cool, gloomy and wet, so at least the flies won't be the irritant they have been!
Poor Dixie, poor Stephanie!
