    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. 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.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

A flea treatment that has finally worked

For the last 6 months Pippins had fleas for the longest time ever. Last time was only for a month. I originally used Xeno, but turned out the fleas have become immune to it. The vet suggested Advantage which is also cheaper than Xeno. Since putting on Advantage, he's been much better, still covered in dirt, but he's a whole lot happier. Still finding a few strays, but they don't bother me or Pip. Got some for the cats too since they brought them in the house to begin with and has worked well on them too. I think all the pets are happier now. Just gotta treat me once a month and keep on top of the house work.

Only other thing that's bothering me is Pippin still has a massive bald patch all the way around his neck. It's only grown back at the top of his neck
