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.

    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.

Obi has got Lice!!

I took Obi to the vet today because of his fur getting slightly clumped and when grooming it it would come out leaving a bald patch. He's got no front teeth so i partley blamed the fact that he couldn't groom himself on the matting. But when i looked closely i could see little blank things in his fur and it turns out that there are eggs yuck :?

He's being treated with xeno 450 spot on, I'm going to treat my other buns with it too, i'd rather be safe than sorry. But the vet said to repeat the treatment in six weeks to ensure that their all dead!!!

After reading the box though it says the repeat treatment after two and four weeks, so what do i do? Six weeks as the vet has stated or two and four weeks as written on the box. Any one used this treatment before, what did you find effective?
 
aww bless his boots. I have no experience I'm afraid so can only offer you my thoughts - good luck. If in doubt , phone the vet...

Did you name Obi after the Japanese Kimono sash?
 
Nope he's been named Obi because he make noises which sound like a light sabre from star wars! It was my husbands idea and the name stuck !!! Whoooo Whoooo
