Myiasis occurs when open wounds are infested with larvae of Diptera flies. A three day old female calf was presented with a history of ocular injury which was complicated by secondary maggot infestation in the medial canthus of the right eye. The ocular injury occurred as a complication of manual correction of dystocia using eye hooks. On general clinical examination, the physiological parameters were found to be within the normal range.
