Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Muzzle your dog. The process of removing maggots isn't pleasant and even well behaved dogs might try to bite or run. Getting a second person to hold the dog still and keep it calm, is also a good idea.
2

Put on latex gloves and shine your flashlight into your dog's ear. Maggots will stay near fleshy areas, so they're usually not very deep in the ear. Gently remove all of the maggots that you can, and trim the hair around the ear with blunt scissors to make sure that you can see as much as you can. Place the maggots in a plastic bag, so that you don't touch them.
3

Gently wash out the dog's ears. Bottles with gentle, blunt tips can deliver a gentle wash into the dog's ear. Tilt the head, so that the water washes out, and use cotton balls or swabs to help urge the maggots out of the ear. The water will also help wash out unhatched maggot eggs, cleaning out as much of the ear as possible.
