Minty_76 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Had an awful day yesterday. Been away at my parents for a week and coming home discovered my bunny Shanty had fly strike. It was such a horrific sight. The vets said the maggots hadn't actually got into his body but his skin was bleeding and he had lost part of a testicle. I couldn't let him be in pain like that. I made the sad descision to have him PTS. He was a rescue bunny about 7 years ago so he would have been 8ish. He always had loose poo and had GI Stasis last year. We will miss him.

lillybettybabs Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm so sorry, It is a big risk with rabbits with tummy problems, my youngest rescue bunny has a sensitive tummy. My two are on a 80% hay diet, 10% pellets and 10% greens which seems to keep things balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
