[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10072"] Actually, her stools were/are just fine -- what it appeared had happened was that the calf was smeared with fecal material from another animal. Our vet used "Pet Guard", a mild insecticide for cats and dogs -- he said that anything else he had was too harsh for use on mucus membranes, and might be absorbed and cause a toxic reaction. After all visible maggots were removed, she was treated with Eprinex (Ivomec's new pour-on). Where can I locate this KRS? and is it safe for use on smaller animals, such as rabbits? I don't have much of a problem with flystrike around here, but occasionally a rabbit kits will get hit -- especially if diarhhea is present. Lost one last year, in less than 12 hours the kit developed diarrhea and was killed by maggots. Some people in the rabbit circles are discussing the possibility that some of these species of flies can lay live maggots, or eggs that are capable of hatching extremely fast because we are seeing rabbits that are completely healthy in the morning and dead from maggots in the evening. What are your thoughts on that? Ann B > The eggs were there when you > bought her--it takes at least 24 > hours for them to be laid and > hatch.
