How to recognize a maggot wound early?

Most of these maggot wounds started out as small wounds, which owners often neglected. A five-cent wound on the elbow. Three days later, *gulps! It's turned into a fifty-cent open wound with many holes in it!

How did such invasive, aggresive wound take place? A small wound, emits wonderful odour/fragrance (you name it!) to our friend Mr. Fly. Yep, the busy busy annoying irritating often-zapped fly. They are so attracted to the smell, they close their eyes and found themselves swept onto the "land of milk and honey" and aaaahhhh.. this is where I shall build my family. So they lay eggs - on the land of milk and honey aka your dog's little wound.

A day later - the owner starts to notice perhaps a one mm hole. Often they'll lift their eyebrows, "Hmm.. what's tat?"

Second day. The owner wonders why the dog keeps licking on the little hole. He shooed the tongue off, and found a five-mm hole glaring at him, "Hey, what did you do to yourself? You idiot!" He started to apply some antiseptics.

Third day. The dog is now licking more profusely, and even goes aggressive whenever the owner touches the wound. The owner manages to take a small peep, and to his horror, he's now looking at four holes of different sizes!!! He quickly brings the doggie to the vet, and the diagnosis is fast - MAGGOT WOUND!
