As temperatures rise, so does the risk of flystrike for our fluffy companions.
Flystrike, a potentially fatal condition, occurs when flies lay eggs on a rabbit’s fur, which then hatch into maggots and feed on their flesh.
🔍 Keep a close eye on your rabbit’s hygiene and living environment, especially during warmer months. Regularly check for any signs of soiled fur, wounds or unusual behaviour.
✅ Prevention is key: ensure your rabbit’s living space is clean and dry, and consider using flystrike prevention methods recommended by your vet.
❗️If you suspect flystrike, seek veterinary attention immediately. Early detection and treatment are crucial for the well-being of your fluffy companion.
