they just appeared n hour ago i used hydrgen peroxide and neosporin on the little guy he seems ok i just dont want one stupid maggot to ruin his chances of survivalI just found 3-4 week old baby squirrell it had some maggots one has gotton under its skin how i kill it?
Peroxide damages skin and doesn't allow proper healing. Warm soapy water and Neosporin will keep it clean. Take the maggot off and dispose of it. Take the baby squirrel to the vet tomorrow and let them send it to a rehabilitater. Good luckI just found 3-4 week old baby squirrell it had some maggots one has gotton under its skin how i kill it?
Dude be really careful when handling it it probably has a lot of bacteria that you don't want. Take it to the vet in a little box.
I DONT NO
You need to contact your local wild life rescue service. Ask them questions about how to proceed with the baby.
If you don't want to call someone a good place to contact would be

Good Luck! :-D
Maggots only eat dead skin, they don't eat live skin. You need to take the squirrel to a vet, they can check for infection and such.
Call a vet. Check your yellow pages, there might even be a 24hr emergency vet that you can get information from. good luck little squirrel.
