That juvenile rabbit died the next day not long after removing that large parasite. Same thing with the kittens I had that had one.

My wife is always watching these medical shows. Quite often we see people who travel to foreign countries come back with lumps or sores on their heads. They go to the doctor because they say it feels like something is crawling around in their head. Often it is diagnosed that they have bot fly larva burrowed into their scalp. They get them out by smearing vaseline over the tiny hole causing the lava to come to the surface because of the lack of oxygen. They are then extracted.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Yup during milking cows back in the early 50s in between changing milkers and carry milk to cooler tank used to pop warbles out of cows back. Wasnt easy popping them out either.

Found 3 on a muskrat once,and also see them on mice occasionally. One reason summer moose or caribou hides are not always the best for tanning is the bot fly holes in the skin.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I remember an article by Major Boddicker, where he went to Africa and purposely came back with one on his head so he could pop it out in front of family members!

The ones in our area on cattle were from Heel flies that had the cream colored grubs growing along the spine area. We called them warbles. I have never seen the bot fly or their grubs.
Bryce Same here, haven't seen one in years, but before modern medicines the cows used to get them, and have seen cow dogs get them also.
