Why Routine Flea And Worm Treatment Is Critical 

Parasites like fleas, worms, mites, and flies pose a continuous, serious threat to rabbits of all ages, diminishing their quality of life. Untreated infestations can lead to:

• Skin Distress: Persistent itching, fur loss, scabs, and infections caused by mites and fleas.
• Systemic Illness: Anaemia (from blood loss), severe digestive problems, and weight loss linked to internal worms.
• Disease Risk: Fleas can transmit Myxomatosis, a serious viral disease with a high mortality rate.
• Flystrike Threat: The most urgent risk, flies lay eggs on the rabbit, and the larvae hatch rapidly, causing intensely painful and life-threatening tissue damage.

By offering initial and annual booster treatments, Alder Vets provides year-round protection, mitigating these risks and keeping your companion happy and comfortable.

Our Targeted Approach to Flea And Worm Treatment

Effective parasite control requires specific knowledge of the threats rabbits face. Our prevention strategy at Alder Vets is targeted and comprehensive:

• Mites and Fleas: We use vet-recommended spot-on treatments customised based on your rabbit's size, weight, and lifestyle. We also advise on eliminating environmental infestations.
• Intestinal Worms: Regular worming, typically scheduled every six months, is a non-negotiable preventative measure. This is often administered as an oral paste and integrated seamlessly with health checks.
• Flystrike Prevention: Beyond promoting a clean environment and healthy weight, our team offers essential advice on additional preventative measures to reduce fly attraction.

When to Seek Flea And Worm Treatment: Signs of a Problem

While we recommend routine flea and worm treatments every six months, stay vigilant for these signs that could indicate a current parasite burden:

• Head shaking or persistent scratching.
• Hair loss, dandruff, or scabs.
• Lethargy or reduced appetite.
• Changes in droppings.
• Visible worms (rare but serious).

If you notice any of these symptoms, timely intervention is critical.
