Advantage 80 out of stock everywhere - alternative?

Hi, I need to get a flea treatment for my cat and bunny but advantage it out of stock until September everywhere online and vets can't get it either. What else can I use??
 
I'm not 100% but I think it's ok to use advocate for rabbits but I think you can only get this from the vets or with a prescription - definitely seen it in stock in a lot of vets recently though so should be available :)
 
Does the advantage 40 work or does it depend on weight of animal? I have got some of the 40 as we bought the whole pack when oscar had fleas earlier this year.
 
I have bought some 40s for my smaller rabbits and cat but I have George the conti who is 5.5kg and my housemates cat who is about the same who need the 80!
 
What about Revolution/Stronghold(selamectin)? It's a common one used for rabbits, here in the US, and also seems to be more effective than Advantage.
