Preventative healthcare
for your rabbit
Preventative healthcare for your rabbit is
important, especially at this time of year.
As the temperature rises your rabbit is at
greater risk of developing several conditions
associated with warmer weather.
l
Fly strike is a very serious and often
fatal condition where flies lay eggs in
the rabbit’s fur and their larvae (maggots)
feed on the rabbit’s skin. A liquid
insecticide called ‘Rearguard’ is
available that will prevent the eggs from
hatching and kill the larvae of flies for
up to ten weeks.
l
Even if your rabbit never leaves your
garden it could still be at risk of
contracting often fatal viral conditions.
It is possible to vaccinate your rabbit
against the most common conditions
which are Myxomatosis and Viral
Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD). A new
combined vaccination is now available
that will protect your rabbit against both
these diseases in one yearly injection.
