Beaphar Fly Guard protects rabbits against flystrike
for up to 3 months.
Based upon advanced IGR technology that prevents fly
maggots from developing.
One bottle treats 5 rabbits.
Every rabbit owner should use this as a precaution
BEFORE flystrikes occur.
 
I have used it this year for the first time on my short haired buns. So far so good.However, if you have a hairy bun ( lionhead etc..) I can recommend Rearguard. It's excellent:)

Glad your bun is recovering, so many don't.:( Did your vet mention about diet?

hi .can you tell me how its applied to the rabbit .are your rabbits indoor or outside .we are having a huge fly problem this year and im so scared she will get it again .thanks for the reply .waiting to hear from you .
 
I tried it last month. when i do it again, I'll sqirt a fair amount into a bowl and sponge it on to get even coverage and to massage it as far down into the hairs as possible....the spray is a little focused and seemed to bounce right off sooty.

It also smells quite bad. venillated room or outdoors needed.
