recently i noticed on my cats neck that she had a lump. when i inspected it, it turned out to be a Cuterebra (ewwwwwww!!!!!!). at least, i think it was. it was like a tiny brownmouse poo with a white head. then i noticed she has two more lumps on her neck but there are no small holes to be found so i can't be sure if it's more Cuterebra. i am going to take her to the vet to get them checkedbecause if they are Cuterebra and i squeeze them, the foreign protein entering her system could kill her. so no squeezing.
anyway, i did some research and it turns out that Cuterebra are common in rabbits too. i haven't found any on my bun but then again, it's harder to find since he has fluffy fur and my cat's fur is very short. i checked him all over and found no lumps or bumps. my bun never ever goes outside (he hates the outside world) and from what i've learnt, it's not infectious, so he's pretty safe.
still, i wanted to ask if has anyone else had an experience with Cuterebra on their pets? i've looked around some websites and none of them seem to think it's anything serious but just thought i would check what fellow RO members have to say.
