Thanks for the replys ive gone for the frontline one from the vet, only because i needed it like yesterday :lol: , im going to order on line in future as its much cheeper.Its a long story but my friends rabbits have come down with myxi 
and it looks like its being spread by fleas. This is because all the rabbits affected at the moment are in one shed and up one end, none have it in the other shed or the outside ones. So it was urgent that we got all of them de flead as soon as possable. Ive also put up a konk in there shed that will keep the knats out.4 rabbits so far have it. [ yes theve been isolated] val

As Denny says its ADVANTAGE you need

When one of our foster homes in Hampton Hill was affected by Myxie a few years ago and there were many incidents of it being highlighted in the community at the time, our vet suggested Xenex Ultra to use on all our rabbits to try and protect them from biting insects. When I know there is a problem near me all mine get treated with Xenex as a preventative thing.
When Teddy had the beginnings of mites, the Vet suggested the Xenex Spot On. However, although it cured the mites really quickly, he had a bad reaction to it where I put it on his skin, quite red and sore, so I won't be able to use that one again. It depends on the bun, I suppose.

My vet suggested Xenex when Gus had mites yet again. He also suggested using it on my other bunnies and piggies as prevention. Nearly all of them had terrible reactions to it including fur coming out and sore skin. I wouldn't use Xenex again.
