Botfly

Other Names / Similar Items:

Risks
The cuterebra, or botfly, lays its eggs on the skin of animals.
The larva burrows under the skin and matures, which can cause a small lump under the skin topped with a tiny, perfectly round hole.
This can lead to secondary infections.
Suggestions
If you notice a botfly larva in your cat, do not attempt to remove it yourself.
Visit the vet so it can be properly removed and your cat treated for any secondary infection.
