    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.

Flea treatments?

Sorry I know this has been asked a million times before but obviously can't do a search at the mo :lol:

I think Worm may have fleas cos I'd forgotten to frontline her for about two months :oops: I haven't actually seen any fleas on her though but she's been scratching a lot (and so have I :lol: ). Last night I used the frontline, but if she does/did have them I would think Audrey will probably have fleas too...what treatment can I give her please? I did use a comb to see if any came off and they didn't but I'd rather be sure.

She has her teeth check up at the vets tomorrow so I can get something then...
 
Oh, forgot to say that although the instructions for Advantage say that rabbits need treating every 5 days, you only need to treat every 3 or 4 weeks.
 
I'm afraid it's a POM. Costs about £15 a box from my vet.

Also forgot to say...don't use Zenex cos it's poisonous to cats, and has caused nasty rashes in a couple of my rabbits
 
Thank you, I'll ask the vet about it tomorrow then and maybe I'll get advantage for Worm instead of Frontline.

Hopefully Audrey will only need one treatment.
