Hi
sorry for starting a new thread I couldnt find info on this particularsituation. My bunny has no front teeth after an op for malocclusion.
I have been keeping an eye on her for getting poops around herbumnow that she hasno teeth to groom and lately shehas had a problem with this. Tonight we had to pick her up (shehates being picked up) and removed the dried poops by pulling itout of her fur quickly. She is short haired. It seemed so cruel but wefelt we had to incase she got maggots. She hates me now.
Would we be better to clip the hair around the area with clippers? Shestruggles so much I thought it was better to pull it out qickly ratherthan faff around with sharps like scissors. Anyone shaved their rabbitback end in this situation?
What are the early signs of fly strike?
Will checking her bum weekly be enough?
Thanks for any advice,
ND
