Wolf Worm: This fat parasite is the larvae of the bot fly and will eventually hatch into an adult bot fly if not removed. Wolf worms are commonly picked up around rabbit burrows as the rabbit is one of their favorite hosts. Most pets are curious about rabbits or are even trained to hunt them, so they may stick their head into the burrow. This is why most wolf worms are found in the neck and head area. Unfortunately, this is why wolf worms can be so dangerous. Wolf worms can actually end up burrowing into the brain or some other vital organ. Many pets will need to be sedated for your veterinarian to properly remove the worm. Improper removal can result in damaging the worm which can lead to anaphylactic shock. Wolf worms come from bot flies. They deposit an egg in animals fur, and when it hatches, it burrows into the skin.

Can bluebirds get wolf worms?

Yes! Wolf worms is a common ailment among bluebirds that is primarily transmitted by unprotected inter-species sex acts. Since 1972 incidence of wolf worms in blue birds has spiked dramatically after the Supreme Court overturned the "Defense of Decency Act" in a 5-4 decision. If you are worried that your bluebird has wolf worms you can check by applying the adhesive side of a piece of scotch tape to its cloaca. If the bird appears to enjoy the act it is likely a deviant and has engaged in inter-species sex acts. Wolf worms is fatal to bluebirds, so a true friend would put the bird out of its misery by twisting it's head off, duct taping it back on, and selling it to a blind kid.
