Bloody baby Quad

[Fearaffect]

You are joking right? Yes we all know about how surgeons use leeches to prevent clotting and bugs are beneficial etc etc but if your chameleon has a maggot chewing on him this would be a very bad thing. I mean what the heck is this cham just bleeding from? The title is "Bloody baby quad". What a weird thread.

You mean you dont use maggots to eat away an infected/dirty wound?? That just weird man......

maggots do eat dead tissue and what not but the other bacteria and infection they can bring with them far outweights the bennifits of thier use.

 

[pssh]

Not if they are used medically. They only use clean maggots.

Agreed....

 

[pssh]

Is this a serious agreement?

I don't see why people think all maggots are nasty.

Yup....Ive read up on it some years ago......nothing wrong with it when the other option is that your gonna lose a limb and/or get a serious infection throughout your body.......
It was done before antibiotics were available........and still done in areas where they dont have access to them......

 

[pssh]

Glad we agree! ha.

Beyond the use of maggots professionally. I have seen a maggot infested wound on a living animal from a random wild fly. Let me tell you it was NOT infection free and im sure caused death at some point.

 

[pssh]

Certain flies do that. Particularly on dog ears. I can't remember which fly at the moment.

I just want both of you to know you can agree all day, and I can disagree all day. A chameleon is minature compared to a human. Never can I see a reason to let any bug, paraite, what ever chew on one of my chams. I hope mike doesn't do it as I think it would be a death sentense for that tiny chams. jmo

I was talking about myself. I don't think they do that for reptiles...

Its the way they look. I can know the facts all day long, but seeing a bunch of squirming maggots on a carcass is just about sickening. I can do blood, guts and all that. Maggots, not so much. It just sounded funny, clean maggots lol
