Actually, maggots are good for cleaning out dead tissues...assuming you remove them.

In some cases, doctors use them, especially in cases of old wounds. Maggots will only eat decaying tissue and by clearing out dead tissue, fresh tissue can begin healing over and will be less susceptible to infection if carefully monitored afterward, since decaying flesh would have higher amounts of bacterial growth.amen. i have a hard time imagining the maggots saying "let's ONLY go for the dead tissue, and when that's gone we can leave the dog alone".
yeah maggots are a bitch

As stated earlier, maggots in a controlled environment can be beneficial...you put a fly larva or three on a prepared area and let them do their thing. But when they're naturally occurring, a gazillion maggots hatching out of the gazillion eggs that a fly leaves behind, they eat everything, not just the necrotic flesh.Hopefully you didn't have your dogs killed just because they had some maggots!! As has been stated previously, maggots are nature's cleaners. They eat away the necrotic flesh. Hell doctors in some hospitals are using maggots for treatment of patients with gangrenous wounds to great benefit.
