Rearguard?

Hello :wave: I bought some rearguard when I was last at the vets, and was told the instructions are under the sticker, anyway I've now discovered the bottle I have is all to be used as one dose for one rabbit. I'm a bit peeved the vets didn't mention this as they know I have two bunnies.

Can anyone give me any handy hints for application, etc?
 
Hi :wave:
Not sure about instructions as Ive never used it myself.
Just thought Id mention that Im sure there have been a few threads on here where buns have had bad reactions to Rearguard. Maybe have a search and see if you can find them :wave:
 
hello :) i use reargaurd never had a problem :) i think it depends on how big your buns are and how thick there coat is, as my nethie cross is small and has a thin coat so i only use half a bottle on him and my standard rex has the whole bottle :lol: but i make sure they dry before i let them groom themelves a it smells strong. i tend to brush it through with a comb and brush and keep them in the conservatory and watch them and wait till it drys making sure they done lick, they are very good if i give them a green to keep there minds off it ;) take about half an hour for them to dry :wave: but may be good to do some research first anyhow :) (it should be re done every 8 weeks too)
 
for my nethie cross bun when i had her and her sister 1 bottle did 2 buns even arthur and her used 1 bottle last year though arthur has put on weight and coco is a big bunny i will try with one bottle first and see how you go as long as you cover the area required it desnt matter how much you use x
