Mangoworms are a common problem in dogs, especially in areas with high humidity and warm temperatures. These worms are the larvae of a type of fly that feed on the flesh of animals, causing painful sores and infections. If you have discovered mangoworms on your dog, it’s important to act quickly to remove them and prevent further infestation. Here are some steps you can take to safely remove mangoworms from your dog:
- First, restrain your dog carefully to prevent them from moving or biting during the removal process.
- Put on gloves to protect your hands from the worms and any bacteria they may carry.
- Gently squeeze the skin around the worm to force it out of the hole.
- Once the worm is visible, use tweezers to grip the head of the worm and pull it out slowly and firmly. Be careful not to break the worm, as this can cause infection.
- After removing the worm, clean the area with an antiseptic solution to prevent infection.
- Repeat the process for any other visible worms on your dog.
- Keep a close eye on your dog for any signs of infection or further infestation, and consult your veterinarian if you have any concerns.Source: ViacomCBS Inc.
