Quick question about flea meds...

so, I have to treat my bonded pair for fleas. I've been told to put it on the back of the neck so they can't lick it off - but could they not lick it off each other? Should I keep them separate for a while e.g. until it's dried? :? What do other people do?

ETA it doesn't have any instructions about this in the product leaflet :?

I use advantage. I tend to treat them in a different room to the one they live in so they're a bit confused and sit with them until it's dry so I can stop them from grooming each other.
 
my vet recommends with cats to keep them separate for about 24hours but obviously thats not really possible with rabbits! i guess just until its dry would be a good idea :) although it's not great for them to ingest it it won't kill them unless they have a huge amount
 
Thanks all :)

I couldn't hold a proper conversation with the vet as the phone signal here is so poor it kept cutting out :roll: (I live in London....:roll: )



I've kept them separate just to be safe, it's dry now and I've brushed out the fur in case there's an residue there...hopefully this will be ok.

Thanks again!
