Rearguard for Rabbits 25ml

Product Information

She is generally eating her soft poos with no problems hun :wave: it's just maybe once or twice a month I would say, she seems to get diarreah (no idea how to spell it!), I'm almost certain it's because I'm feeding her a lot of treats and things like puréed fruit etc. She was loving the recovery food up until a few months ago, which is when this started really, and I think that's what was really maintaining her weight. But she has now completely gone off it and won't eat it, so I'm finding I am trying to make up for that with other foods, and she seems to occasionally be getting a bit of a dodgy tummy I'm trying to be so careful, but it's so hard to get the balance right. She is already underweight and can't really afford to lose any more A weekend delivery service and a Priority Dispatch service for urgent items is also available to the mainland uk. In cases of existing flystrike, adult maggots should be removed by mechanical means and appropriate supportive treatment given. Rearguard should then be applied to the fur to prevent development of new larvae and re-strike. As a regulated veterinary medicine, RearGuard can only be prescribed and supplied by a suitably qualified person (SQP) or a licenced veterinarian.

Rabbits should be first treated in early summer before any flies are seen. Rearguard will not kill adult maggots but works by preventing any eggs laid by flies developing. If your rabbit is producing unusually wet faeces, take it to the vet for diagnosis and treatment, and be prepared to change the diet accordingly. Dosage and administration Rearguard comes supplied ready-to-use in a bottle with built-in applicator sponge. Gently depress the sponge to break the valve before applying.Firstly do NOT wash the affected area as this makes it harder for the maggots/eggs to be located and removed.

If you suspect your rabbit has a urinary problem, then take it to the vet for diagnosis and treatment. Rabbits are particularly susceptible to Flystrike if they are unable to keep themselves clean of urine and faeces. Urinary infection or bladder stones/sludge can cause urine dribbling, soaking the fur with urine and attracting flies. Obesity can make it impossible for a rabbit to clean urine or faeces from its fur and so can arthritis, which is made even more problematic by obesity. In addition, obesity can make it very difficult for a rabbit to squat properly when it toilets and the fur can become soiled. Painful dental problems can make a rabbit reluctant or unable to clean itself properly and can also result in a soiled bottom. Use a suitable treatment such as Rearguard. This is a non-prescription product that is very effective at helping to prevent flystrike if used correctly.We have an SQP on The Hay Experts team so we are allowed to prescribed and supply this medicine via the internet or phone to you. Depending on how bad the situation is, treatment can be given. Vets will try to remove as many of the maggots as they can. Remove any surrounding hair and treat the wounds. Antibiotics will usually be needed along with powerful pain relief. Bad cases are when the maggots have eaten deeper than just the surface of flesh. This is very painful for the rabbit and sometimes the kindest thing is euthanasia. Prevention is better than cure. A poor diet is a key factor: when the rabbit isn’t eating a good diet, it affects the faeces, muesli diets should be avoided as it allows selective eating.
