Thank you for your post. I recently rescue...Hello,<br /><br />Thank you for your post. I recently rescued a baby vole at 6 days old. He is now 3.5 weeks old and I just identified that he has a parasite like the one pictured in your post. (I thought it was an abscess and treated it as such, until I noticed it began to move as if it were alive and had a mind of its own.) It's located on the rear end as well, right next to his tail. I'm currently trying to locate a vet that is willing to remove the parasite. <br /><br />My question is if I can not locate a vet (as it is illegal in my state to take in wild animals) will the parasite harm the vole? Will it exit on its own without harming the vole? Of course then the question is sterilizing the empty hole after the parasite has vacated. <br /><br />Please advise. Thank you very much!<br />Jessica runbarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837571623736018707noreply@blogger.com
