Cat botfly removal
Cat botfly removal is a careful process usually handled by a veterinarian. A botfly larva (warble) burrows under the skin, creating a small breathing hole. It must never be squeezed, because that can rupture the larva and cause infection.A vet typically widens the opening slightly, gently extracts the intact larva with forceps, and then cleans and disinfects the wound. Pain relief or antibiotics may be given if needed.If you ever suspect a botfly in your cat, keep the area clean, prevent scratching, and seek professional veterinary care to avoid complications.
