Botfly larvae (Cuterebra) being removed from bunny!!

My bunny rabbit got some kind of botfly-like larvae and I took her to the vet to have it removed. It was huge and about to hatch.

[@stephaniestrong8091]

The larvae has hardened in the area that has been exposed to air. A warm compress and oil made it softer so the tweezers could more easily grasp it. It also softened the tiny spines formed on the larvae so they would not be so sharp to the bunny. The doctor was completely right.

[@queankatt3701]

+ Stephanie Strong True, but you have to wiggle it out or those spines scratch and tear the insides.

[@shrek6655]

did anyone ask

[@bill091086]

Stephanie Strong: Who asked you, genius? Oh, my, instead of pulling the thing right out LIKE EVERY OTHER INSTANCE ON KZbin, let’s take extra time to apply oil and make a nice, comfortable, soft compress so that the larva is nice and slippery and difficult to remove. Great idea. Then, let’s get tweezers so thin that they bend when attempting to apply gripping pressure to the larva. And then, after it’s out, let’s say “Oh, poor larvae” for the god damn vile parasite that was eating the RABBIT’S (not bunny!) flesh. A real bleeding heart, you are. The “doctor’s” procedure had most likely never been exercised before, and they both spoke like they had never before seen such a creature in their lives. By the way, “larvae” is plural; “larva” is singular. You need to learn basic Latin so you don’t sound like even more of a dweeb! 😂😂😂

[@miss.g-shun-w]

Right attack the doctor for trying to help the bunny. Apparently you can't just yank botflies out. You have to be careful not to burst them because they can cause severe allergic reactions. The thing was burrowing back into the rabbit...she did her best.

U know. Even a kid know the tool they use didnt had strong grip to do the job. So are u too dumb to realize that? And that the SgtPiggie dude point. If they using a right tool that has strong grip to pull it out. It wont take that long and also can avoid traumatized the bunny. U just like to messing around arent u?

[@phoenixrising9960]

I comment at comment sections that’s because how they learned to live in the harsher conditions so they live longer

[@genduncan506]

I dunno, they dosnt actually harm the animal - the main risk is of infection woth the breathing hole staying open - and i beleive they just drink lymph fluid which is waste anyway. They hatch, leave, and the wound closes and other animals eat the delicious, huge, juicy fly while it looks for a mate! Big juicy things are valuable and sought after in dry and often very hot landscapes, where botflys tend to live. They arent brilliant but out of everything that could hitch a ride and a meal in your skin... they arent so bad. Quite gentle really, and harmless if you keep the breathing hole clean.

[@evelynhoward9279]

Madie Inez screw tweezers, they should've used forceps. And once it was half out, they should've put on a glove and just pulled it the rest of the way out with their fingers. I was seriously terrified that they were going to rip that nasty thing in half or kill it by squishing it, which would only be worse for the bunny

[@isabelcampos7527]

[@aceris5874]

To clarify: the reason why this took so long is because botflies have barbs coating their body which can easily harm the rabbit, and if you happen to cut the botfly larva, it will release a toxin into the wound. They are pesky little buggers >n

[@whapakwhapak]

so what will happen if you submerge that part in water will it come out on its own since it cant breathe?

[@EmmaW5]

Vet did it perfectly- she had to her the right angle so that that hardened part of the lavae (dark, scab like bit that had been exposed to air) didn't rip off, as that would release all of its' toxins into the rabbit, causing infection or even death. Like with ticks- you always pull them as close to the mouth as possible so the mouthpiece doesn't stay in and cause infection.

[@tonsilstones5874]

No. She thought it was scab on the bunny. She was fishing in the center, thinking the bot fly was inside it. She didnt realize the entire thing WAS the larvae... She said so herself in the video.

Btw people moaning saying the rabbit was too stressed need to realise they are prey animals they are soft as hell anything can spook a rabbit so imagine how it feels, when it's been taken to an unknown place, and it's having larger animals pin it down and slowly remove something that was burrowed in its skin. Any person would be the same if we had a fly larvae the size of a golf ball being removed from our hip.

[@gilmarreis8105]

Que bicho era aquele ?

[@robertgift]

(Can't see the video on this computer.) Our 14-year-old, 4.1-lb. used toy poodle from animal rescue had two bot fly larvae. (We thoughthey were cancers.) Our veterinarian removed the two. (Said they were likely from the many rabbits living under our backyardeck this year.) Several days later I discovered she missed one. I covered the opening with Vaseline petroleum jelly so the larvae could not breathe. When it protruded out to get air (O2), I grasped it with tweezers and gently pulled it out. Let it dry out and die in our utility sink.

[@nickkrzyzak2543]

Oh that's awesome!

[@TheKristoffski]

If you ever get one of these nasties the best thing to do is cover the hole in non breathable tape. Wait 48 hours and the larvae will suffocate, as they come up the hole to breathe they die with their heads out, you then grab them with tweezers and they just slide out. If you opt to pull it out alive the larvae will latch onto flesh with it's teeth making the process a lot more difficult

[@android581]

If you would have closed the hole up it would have came out easier and she wouldn;t be moving around from the pain of it digging into the bunny more.
