Easiest, powerful and safe method to save animals from maggots etc


Note:

- To know method without reading story how i discovered this method go to near bottom of article with BOLD text.

- The article was written after 2 days of my medicine test and when many maggots died and healing skin started appearing on the skin holes. I forgot to capture photos of dog during the tests. But pic of healed stage is there at end of page.



How i found this method?


Incident 1: "Biggest & hardest task is to save life"


In August 2017 two puppies used to live near my home but one day i saw a hole in one puppy's right side of chest and lots of white maggots were eating the flesh of the puppy. Like a bowl with blood + tissues with bugs swimming in it. It was such a terrible view most people cannot watch it more. However i was more sad than disgusted and wanted to do something. The medicines of animals are not available in pharma stores near my home. The dog already reached severe stage and all i could do was keep him to a safe place in my home and try some cures i have heard. From anti-septic liquids to other methods i tried all i could do. I was forced to use the methods people should not randomly use. I mean using kerosene, petrol, phenol etc on wounds. These chemicals can be only used 1 or two times and only when problem is on skin and there is no alternative present. But when wound is deep inside skin these chemicals must not be used as they destroy the good cells more than the maggots do. The destroyed cells become food for maggots after chemicals evaporate.


I tried anti-septic liquids like Dettol which irritated the bugs and some of them started to come out but there were many inside the hole and it was not possible to take them out without surgical tools. (I also called a NGO JeevAsharay in my city Lucknow and they said they will come in 1-2 hours. They never came even after i contacted them via phone, facebook and sms repeatedly. I will pay for all the costs even if they are charity with free service. Most NGO's just want money and charity is their Elephant's trunk i.e. fake teeth.)


The smell of flesh kept getting bad. I kept the dog for many hours but when i cleaned the hole some maggots always appeared after some time. And also putting anti-septic water in hole used to go inside his stomach i guess. Because water kept disappearing. The dog finally died after some hours. I realised how tough is to save life :(.



Incident 2: "Maggots can be destroyed by natural things!"


After 2.5 months near my home a doggy gave birth to 5 puppies. All were good and people around give little food to them. But one day a kid shown me one of the puppies which were now 20 days old had same hole in his right side of stomach!. He said he has no medicine to apply. I checked the hole and it was deep just like previous case. I was sad to see the same thing. I decided to apply home remedies this time which humans also use. I kept applying Povidone-Iodine solution on hole to keep it safe from further infections.


From website http://www.jaagruti.org info i applied Neem Oil + Kapoor (camphor) in the hole. However nothing came out of hole and i thought there are no maggots. This method works but due to lack of pure neem oil i instead used povidone-iodine to clean he hole. However after 2 days i saw 1 maggot eating flesh. Now i had to kill these parasites anyhow. After trying many methods i had to use my own knowledge and my last weapon against the maggots. I always keep Phitkiri (Potash Alum) in home. I avoid chemicals like after-shave etc. Phitkiri is an extremely useful first aid stuff. It cleans water, kills bad microbes etc. Its a blood coagulation accelerator / booster!. If your skin gets cut or damaged by anything applying potash alum coagulates blood in seconds.


I made a semisolid paste of fitkiri/potash alum with water and filled in the maggot infested hole. (if you CLOSE THE HOLE maggots cannot come out which is not good). After 24 hours i saw maggots trying to come out of hole and ants attacking on the maggots!. I applied more potash alum with water with Povidone-Iodine above on it & on surrounding skin. After 12 Hours i saw died maggots over the hole. Many maggots finally died. The hole looked like filled with pus but it was potash alum texture with flesh. There also appeared a healing skin on the hole. This is the current situation of the wound and the dog can walk around to eat food, poo etc.


How phitkiri destroyed maggots?

When i was trying to find a solution my idea was to use some method other than i used i.e. trying to kill maggots. Instead of killing those maggots i thought to use potash alum to block all the possible ways maggots can live. It works like this -

- Maggots as soon as hurt the tissues blood is discharged.
- Exposed blood is mixed with potash alum which makes a clot there and tissues become a harder mass lacking blood.
- Maggots do not get flesh and blood to eat and start loosing energy. They by their own actions block their ways!. Now the monsters who can kill 1000s times bigger creature than them live a pathetic disastrous life.
- Other than coming out of the hole there is nothing much they can do.
- Potash alum boosts blood coagulation, saves from many microbes, blocks the flesh and more benefits.


This method i tested for 2 days gave the results rest of past 4-5 days could not. It means this solution is applicable to many infections where parasite has to die of hunger.


Update: a user asked how many times potash alum can be applied. It depends upon severity of wound and maggots. If blood is clearly visible and doesn't coagulate then potash alum must be used again because whole idea is to stop bleeding.



Solution:

Make a semi-solid paste of Phitkiri i.e. Potash alum + water and apply over the wound or fill in the maggot infested holes on tissues. How it works is described above. Anyone without any medical skills can use this method to save animals or humans from such infections when there is no hospital service present around.

Hello,

You did a very noble thing by taking this task upon yourself and I have a similar experience so thought I'd share it briefly.

I used to be a student in Dehradun and a stray puppy of about 5-6 months old got attached to me as I used to feed him.However, he too developed maggots near his stomach and had a pool of larvae swimming in the hole. I took him to a vet and he made a powder of alum and pored about a large spoonful into the hole after cleaning it and plugged it with a cotton wool swab.I was in doubt but after 4-5 days the wound dried up and there were no maggots! So I agree with this treatment as I have seen results.

Good luck to you for helping out stray animals because they too are our fellow beings on this planet!

Thank you Pragya for this important feedback. It will help many others to see maggot infection as something they can also treat without lots of money and vet. This cure should be spread to all animals lovers or even those who don't.

Hi

Thanks for such a wonderful information. My street dogs neck has many holes and today I filled the same with fitkari powder. Now white water type liquid is coming from one hole. May God it heel the poor dog.

Unknown said...

Hi Ashok,

Kindly share the result in comments so that people know how it works. I have made liquid phitkiri and i put its drops on wounds. Its good for humans alsi.

Unknown said...

WIll phitkiri work for inside the mouth?There is a dog of 4 months and he has a lot of maggots inside his mouth?Doctors have used turpentine oil but they continue to come out and there is blood. WHat should i do?

bks said...

@Unknown,
Tarpene etc can hurt tissues. Use potash alum i.e. phitkiri repeatedly in more liquid form to let it go deep to wounds. However if maggots have damaged internal bigger tissues then recovery may need more surgical methods.

Can phatkari be used safely in a dogs ear infested with maggots?

bindeshkumarsingh@gmail.com said...

Phitkiri i.e. potash can be used anywhere but it should be diluted to reach difficult areas. Better make diluted solution to wash wounds. Use smallndrops of potash + water in inner wounds to check further damages. Extra anti infective precautions are also helpful.

Hello,
I was looking for solutions to treat a maggot infection in a street dog and this is the easiest way. After pouring the potash alum paste on the hole do I have to cover it with cotton? Or let it be open?

bks said...

@kamal modi,

NO. closing the hole will make it hard for maggots to come out. Open wound will heal but it needs care until fully cured.

Unknown said...

Can anyone tell how frequently you have to apply fitkari...or only once?

Rashmi said...

Can I use Betadine first then potash alum?

bks said...

@above

Betadine i.e. povidone-iodine has no effect on maggots however it prevents infection from microbes and can be used over phitkiri/potash alum.

@bindesh thank you, but will it okay if dog licks it? And the dog is very aggressive it either gets scared when I try to put solution or very aggressive. It won't allow me to put.

What to do if the dog is licking the solution? And is it harmful?

Unknown said...

Can dog drink potash alum and water mixture? If yes/no please share the effects and side effects on it

bks said...

@above

The solution is safe if dog licks it. However it doesn't mean solution can be given for drinking it will harm by making inner skin very dry and can cause problem like harsh vooce etc. Its better to cover the wound with bandage so that dog doesn't lick it.

Unknown said...

@bindesh, but what if the maggots are under tongue (in the mouth of puppy) can we put phitkari solution there?

Unknown said...

One question.. Can I put the potash alum paste diluted solution directly in the hole or do I need to clean the hole first bcos I can't clean it's really in a bad condition n the hole is on her top body on her back... Plz suggest me it's matter of her life

bks said...

Cleaning is jot required because diluted solution will find ways to make blood clots. Paste should not be semi-solid but diluted for the same reason to spread everywhere and not hurt due to high concentration.
