Yesterday the second of our dutch rabbits died.
They both had been treated for fleas with spot-on treatment especially for rabbits.
Both died within a week of having been treated, one in the spring and then we bought a 2nd rabbit at 9 weeks and he was 9 months old had been with a bonded female and seemed to be doing very well.
He seemed fine the night previous but next day was quiet and did not come out of his quiet area until late in the day. He then did not eat or drink and passed away last night.
Our large white rabbit is fine and has never had any adverse effects from the treatment. Sammy had had the treatment once before without problem.
After the death of the first one we said we would get a new rabbit and they bonded so well, it is sad that this has now happened again. Has anybody else had a problem following treating the rabbits for fleas?
thanks
Margaret
