How does everyone manage to get rear guard on their rabbits? Normally I have help, I get someone to hold her while I apply it. But this time round I have to try and manage on my own and I'm a bit lost how I'm supposed to do it - I just don't seem to have enough hands/ or perhaps I just need bigger hands? :lol:

Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

You need to get rearguard from your vets. I'm not going to use it on Honey but I used to on my previous bunny when he was old and slightly overweight and he was fine on his backon my lap.
I don't love having my thread hijacked, but you've got a vaild question so I'll let it pass! :lol:
You do not need a prescription to buy Rearguard, I've never brought Rowans with one, I just ask the vets if I can buy some for my rabbit and thats it.

I'd try putting her on her back, but she hates being held- and hates it even more being on her back. She won't stay still, so rather than try and hold her down and risk her getting hurt I let her go.
