Oh dear! If Mau has maggots in his tail, this is really something that needs to be seen by a vet right away - if you saw one on the outside, chances are that there are many more under the skin. Maggots are usually a result of some type of open wound or sore, so it's also important to see a vet to determine why Mau has maggots and make sure that the underlying problem is appropriately treated as well. I would really recommend taking him to the vet right away for an exam, rather than attempting any kind of home remedies.
