I have noticed tonight that my doe has worms in her droppings. I've done a quick search online, and it says a high-fibre diet can help expel the worms. So I am assuming that would be hay? What else can I feed my doe that is high in fiber? And what can I treat her with from home? (E.g. Is cat or dog worm treatment also used or any natural remedies?)

Note: she is also nursing 6 two week old kits as well, in case that makes a difference on any medication that can be provided to treat her.
 
I've done a quick google search of it, and it says (because it is a dog wormer) that it is safe for pregnant *******, and to treat puppies at the same time as the dam :shrug:

Are you sure those aren't maggots in the dropping tray, not from the bunny? Very common in warm weather.

It's winter here, and they definitely aren't maggots. I let her run around the lounge floor and was picking her droppings up after her, hence how I noticed them. I wouldn't have noticed if she had of used her litter box
