My dearly beloved boy has been having long term treatment for sarcoids - 4 months and counting. They are in his groin area and it's been a pretty grim experience which I'm not going to put him through again if/when the buggers reappear.
I've been washing it out with saline twice daily and using yellow fly cream on it, and up until now it has been gross but ok, however on Fri evening I found it more than a bit smelly so I started him on antibiotics straight away.
On washing in good light on Sat I discovered maggots - yuk, yuk, yukkity yuk (among other choice words). Not very big, but lots of them so I then spent about an hour flushing them out by using the hosepipe on them, under pressure. My lovely horse just stood there while I squirted water up into his nether regions and all down his legs, I couldn't believe how good he has been.
The vet said to keep going with the washing, antibiotics and fly cream, and that actually as long as there weren't too many, that the maggots would be doing good as they are eating the dead stuff - grim. He's coming out today to check, and with luck he'll cut away what he can and it won't be so bad.
Just thought I'd share that lovely experience with you all - beat that for grossness!
