I stumbled upon a page on Severâs disease, which is a common cause of heel pain that occurs in children when the growth plate, which is the growing part of the heel, is injured. The foot is actually one of the first parts of the body to grow to full size.(I could have told you that!pon doing further research on the internet, it appears my son has Severâs disease. Although the podiatrist did not refer to the condition as such, the symptoms my son has seem to parallel those I discovered through my research.
Maggots are attracted to rotting material, particularly rotting or decaying vegetation or flesh. If garbage is left out in a home, it is not uncommon to find maggots in the garbage within days. They thrive in warm, moist environments, and thus maggot infestations are most common in homes with poor moisture control and high temperatures.
Myiasis is a the term used to describe a maggot infestation. Maggots are fly larva that feed on necrotic and dying tissue. Especially prone are those pets confined to the outdoors with situations in which their skin remains moist. This includes pets with draining wounds, urine or fecal stained hair coats, or bacterial skin infections.
