Any type of wound or hot spots that may not be clearly obvious can change quickly and can become infected. Any wound that bleeds or contains pus and smells, can attract flies. Being outdoors with an open wound means your pet is exposed to flies and in turn, maggots, which will happily eat their way through your animals body, causing discomfort, illness and possibly death. This typically is more of a concern in warmer weather and warm climates, but can occur any time of year, especially if animals are being neglected and not examined regularly.
