Maggots typically appear on a dead animal within 24 to 48 hours, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Flies are attracted to decaying matter and often lay their eggs shortly after death, leading to the rapid development of maggots. In cooler environments, this process may take longer, while warmer conditions can accelerate it.
Maggots do not harm humans, seeing maggots feasting off of a dead corpse, animal or simply rotting flesh is only the nature of the maggots. They eat Dead flesh and they have not caused the fate of the corpse. Although, there is a possible way that certain species of flies can lay a larvae of Maggots into a living person. I.e mosquito larvae. Therefore it can be infected and become fatal to the host. Although, it is the Infection itself that is harmful, not the maggots. And is quite easy to remove the maggots from the host in itself and many doctors have seen action of this.
No.
Maggots actually only eat dead flesh. They are cleaning creatures. If maggots are present, that means that the wound not only contains dead tissue, but it has been open long enough for a fly to lay eggs in it and have them hatch. The maggots themselves are not harmful, but they are a sign of more serious things going on. Your dog needs medical attention. Contact your vet right away.
