It is crucial to seek professional help from a veterinarian immediately.
Here's why:
* Maggots indicate a serious infection: They are attracted to decaying tissue, and their presence means your goat is likely suffering from a severe wound.
* Treating wounds requires expertise: A veterinarian can properly assess the wound, identify the source of the infection, and provide the appropriate treatment (e.g., cleaning, antibiotics, wound dressings).
* Improper treatment can worsen the condition: Using home remedies or incorrect medications can delay healing, lead to complications, and put your goat's health at risk.
Please contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. They are the best resource for addressing this situation effectively and ensuring your goat receives the proper care.
