Is it bad to remove bot fly larvae form a rabbit?

I removed two from my rabbit yesterday after hearing that was what you were supposed to do, I didn't kill them while they were inside her so it shouldn't harm her. Then I read on one page today you weren't supposed to?





Could someone tell me the real answer?Is it bad to remove bot fly larvae form a rabbit?
Any rabbit suffering from fly strike should be taken to the vet.


Even though you think you have got all the larvae a veterinary investigation is necessary to be totally sure.


Cleaning your rabbit out daily will prevent fly strike and using a fly strike repellent such as the one made by bob martins on the rabbit.Is it bad to remove bot fly larvae form a rabbit?
DEATH TO ALL BOTS!!!!


Bot fly larvae turn into bot flies. Every time we kill just one larva, we prevent thousands more.


Remove all bot eggs before they get into the animal, because the larvae cause damage to the intestinal tract and circulatory system as well as cause infection in the skin.


We always used razor blades when removing eggs from our horses. After about 3 years of doing the removal religiously, we never saw a bot fly again.
