New Kit
Last week I found some fly eggs on my rabbit while grooming her and I removed them all and checked her thoroughly the following week and I'd been more cautious putting her in the garden while it was warm.
Came home from work this Wed 2pm and went out to put her in the run as I could keep an eye on her and found her collapsed in her hutch. Got her out to check her and she had fly strike. Luckily the vets is on the street behind mine so she was seen in 10 mins she had heatstroke as well which I feel terrible about as I'd purposely left her in thinking I was keeping her away from the flys (hutch is In the shade)
She was home in 3 hours and was lucky it has been caught early- the maggots were tiny.
I applied rear guard yesterday which she was fine with no reduced appetite, put her out after work this afternoon and kept checking her. Brought her in tonight and there was 1 clump of fly eggs. They all came off easily with a nit comb but I am completely freaking out. I've checked her over and groomed her and checked her again but I'm so worried.
She often gets a messy bottom so I wash and check her regularly. Her bottom was clean on Wed. Nothing there when I checked her Tue night.
All summer she has been out every day no problem with fly eggs.
Are any of you having problems at the min?
I'm going to check her again before bed. Really worried.
