Our daily Mishka check payed off today when we found some freshly laid eggs on her bum (right at the bottom between her legs).

This is the best picture I could get of them 'cus they're so small: :?

fly eggs

If you want to see what fly eggs look like put small piece of meat outside on a hot day an within an hour you will see tiny white specks on it :oops: :oops: these specks are the flies eggs :( :( on a rabbit they can become maggots in 12 hours...they then start to EAT their way into the bunnies flesh also putting toxins in their blood stream. :( :(
 
Oh my gawd :shock:

Sorry for being so thick,I just didn't see them

Well thanks for that, at least I might have an idea what to look for now :oops:

Is she ok? Did you manage to get them off?

Yes she's fine. The eggs are easy to pick off. :D
I think she is getting use to it now, and we always give her a bit of biscuit as a treat after her wash so she doesn't stress so much now :lol:
