Generally speaking, if a dog eats something with maggots, the problem will not be too big. As long as there is no abnormality in the body, no special treatment is required. Moreover, maggots contain a variety of amino acids and fatty acids necessary for animal organisms, as well as a large amount of vitamins and trace elements, and are a high-quality protein source.

The dangers of spoiled food

1. The maggot itself is harmless, but the food that the maggot breeds is spoiled food. Eating this kind of food may make the dog sick and cause serious gastrointestinal symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc. .

2. If the food is left for too long, it will smell, because they contain some substances such as histamine and staphylococcus toxoid, which can easily cause poisoning after eating.

3. If the dog eats a lot of spoiled food, it will have diarrhea, blood in the stool, tense abdominal wall, and pain when touched. Later, it can be seen that the dog's abdomen is distended, and even endotoxic shock occurs.

4. If the poisoning is caused by endotoxin, the dog's body temperature will rise 2 to 24 hours after eating the spoiled food, and at the same time, vomiting, diarrhea and defecation will occur. And the dog had symptoms such as unsteady walking, twitching of limbs, rapid breathing, opisthotonus, and finally died of coma.
