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 assistance
immediately. Early detection and treatment are crucial
for the well-being of your furry friend !!
