Hi all. This isn't my first post I'm an old member but couldn't reset my account 
Anyways.....my 12 yr dwarf lion head was rushed to emergency vets yesterday and had fly strike. Luckily we caught it early and he's ok ish, sore and shaven but ok.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any natural fly repellents I can use on him instead of the shop bought rear guard and also if anyone has any tips for stopping it happening again? He's so so old but Is still going strong and isn't ready to give up yet but just isn't cleaning himself like he should so we've had to up his brushing more. We're getting some lavender plants for around his hutch/run combo and some other herbs and stuff for the top. What about fly papers? Would they be any good attached to the top of the hutch out of reach.....we have young children, dogs and cats. Anything I can Feed him to help?
