Prevention products aren’t treatment

-

Products used to prevent flystrike repel flies.

But once an animal becomes infested with maggots, you'll need a different product to kill them, and prevent the remaining eggs from hatching.

It's vital to read product labels carefully and get a vet's advice.

The animal will also require antibiotic­s, pain relief, and possibly further supportive care. Always call a vet for help.
