Hi,
Rabbit 6-8 yrs old. Free ranged 100 ft garden.
Yesterday, she was not well. Brought her in.
She had flystrike. Caught it very early and just at egg stage. But hundreds.
Rushed to vets. after clipping fur and removing eggs. Vet said flystrike was from being too legarthic to keep off flies.
Given anti inflammatory, pain relief and antibiotic injection. Zantac by mouth x3 day.
Diagnosis - respiratory infection - heart rate fast - some laboured breathing.
She is eating a carrot now - but eating slowly.
Had hoped she would quickly perk up being in the warmth.
She has a bit of gurgling in tummy and stretching out but not much bloat.
Anything else we can do to help her? She is going back to vets today.
Thanks.
