Abstract

Lombok Wildlife Park is an ex-situ conservation institution in the form of a wildlife park that supports the safety of wild animal species. The Lombok civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) is a wild animal kept in the same cage as the female moon civet (Paguma larvata). The Lombok civet was found to have a vulnus at the base of its tail and continued with myiasis. The Lombok civet was treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs for wound healing. Myiasis was treated by administering larvicide, and larvae were manually removed. After five days of treatment, the vulnus was still not completely healed, fly larvae were no longer visible, and appetite was still poor.
