Summer time fun! This is a Cuterebra larvae that I removed from a stray cat at work. Cuterebra flies, or Bot Flies, lay their eggs in grass near rodent or rabbit borrows. These are their preferred hosts, but they're not opposed to cats and dogs. The eggs attach to the animal's fur, hatch into larvae, and enter the body through the nose, mouth, or an open wound. Once inside, they crawl around under the skin looking for a good place to call home. This is usually near the face or on the neck, and it forms a noticeable lump, or "warble". The larvae continues to grow and will create a breathing hole. Once matured (about an inch long) it falls out and becomes a fly outside of the body. This process takes about a month and is most common at the end of summer or early fall. Luckily, bot fly larvae aren't dangerous unless found in large numbers. They're more benign than maggots, and are easily removed. Flea and tick preventatives don't protect against bot fly larvae. The only prevention? Keeping cats indoors and dogs restricted to leashes while out in rural areas. #Cuterebra #cuterebralarvae #botfly #botflylarvae #warble #sheltertech #sheltermedicine #vetmedworld #vettech #VETSNOBIETY #shetercat #kittenseason #VetTechsOfInstagram #kittentherapy
