[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4552727, member: 12277"] We had a calf years ago that had a similar issue. It was the 1st calf of a heifer that didn't keep the flies off of it and maggots ended up getting under it's skin on the top of it's back right behind the shoulders. It got so bad that the skin lifted up, dried and had to be cut off. Once we finally caught it and penned it up, we started catching it frequently to smear ointment on the spot, which by that time was bare muscle tissue. We cut the old skin off with scissors. This was an area about 8 inches square. Obviously this deer can't be caught and treated but it has the advantage of having this happen during Winter when there are no flies so it has time to heal unmolested. I'm not sure if the hide ever really grew back to cover that bare muscle tissue or if the muscle just turned dark but it sure looked like very short hair was growing on it's back when we sold the steer.
