If the rabbit has fly strike (maggots) you need to take IMMEDIATE ACTION. The rabbit *WILL* die without it. Not all vets will deal with this (ones in the area I was in wouldn't). You need to clip the hair away from the area. Get some plastic household gloves, you'll need to secure and hold the area under running water and (it's gross but HAS TO BE DONE) flush out all the maggots from the area. Keep running water over it until there are no more coming out. Cover the area with vaseline - this smothers any you might have missed. Keep the rabbit INSIDE and AWAY from flies...clean and dry and cool. Give as much as the rabbit will eat and plenty of water.

Your bunny may have worm eggs in his/her fecal droppings. You should try the dewormer *make sure it's rabbit friendly*, but I would suggest that you take your rabbit to a vet that specializes in rabbits. They are delicate animals, once there starts to be something in their digestion in the way of a problem, it can lead to very bad things. So catch it early. If possible take a sample of the fecal matter to the vet with you so they can diagnose this problem straight away without causing your bunny more distress. Watch for temperature *should be warm to the touch* and his/her appitite. Poor diet can cause a lot of extra problems for your pet. Make sure that you have fresh timothy hay, and other greens to tempt them if it starts to not eat. Make sure you check for plants poisonous to rabbits before feeding it any. cilantro, parsley, kale, basil, mint, & orageno are safe bunny foods that are awesome on the Vitamin A that a bunny should get one serving a day on.
