The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

Spot on flea treatment

Just used one on Bear and Alice as I swear I saw something crawling around on Alice and can see something in her fur that looks like flea dirt :(
I'm absolutely TERRIFIED of them licking it off though as soon as I've applied it they have started grooming it off and grooming each other, I've tried to distract them but there's no stopping them!
Is it ok for them to lick some off?

Have you used the one for rabbits?
I certainly try to put it on my cats necks where they can't reach.
 
Yeah it's the 1 for rabbits, they seem to be able to get to it no matter where I put it!
It's on the back if their neck but they can get the wet fur in their mouth and are scratching it with there feet then licking their feet!
 
When I've had to treat my rabbits I've fed them straight after so they're distracted while it soaks in. I'm sure mine licked a bit off each other and they didn't come to harm but obviously its best to avoid if you can!
