Do Baby possums have diseases?
It depends on whether the creature in question is a true possum, or an opossum, which is quite different.
True possums are native to Australia (and introduced to New Zealand), and they are entirely unrelated to opossums, except that both creatures are marsupials. The only disease a person or a pet is likely to get if bitten by a possum is tetanus from an untreated wound. Possums can also transmit ticks and fleas to household pets. There are no incidences of the rabies virus in either Australia or New Zealand.
In North America, however, it is a different situation. The body temperature of an opossum is generally too low to harbour the virus: it is possible, although highly unlikely, for an opossum to carry the rabies virus. However, there is at least one documented case of a rabid opossum biting a child, so it can be presumed that in very unusual situations, opossums might carry rabies.

How Baby possum has maggots in his ear?
Probably because he has a bad ear infection , the tissue inside it started to die, and a fly laid her eggs on it. The maggots themselves don't do any harm (if they are just fly larvae) but the infection is really serious if it's to that point. If it's even still alive, you should take it to a medical center right away.
