Oops OH have just gave Pip too many drops of ivermectin

Hi everyone.

I got my OH to help me put the ivermectin drops on Pips neck because she's a bit of a wiggler!

Anyway vet said to put 3 drops on her and we accidently did 4.. I say we I mean my OH!
I don't want to phone the vet again and ask if its ok. I know we can't do anything other than watch her. They already think I'm the crazy bunny Lady.

Do I need to start panicking? I can't find much online most people seem to get the injection rather than drops.

I'm guessing that the vet would have said a warning if 4 would be dangerous.

Ahhh bunnies are lovely but so stressful.

The vet said this morning we just have to make sure Archie doesn't lick it off until it's been on her for 2 hours. So I'm on bunny watch. X

No, don't worry, and don't panic!

One drop (or two) more in the scheme of things isn't going to do any harm. It's a reasonably safe drug and has been tested to high doses and still found to be safe.

Yes, bunnies are stressful, but rarely quite as cute as your two though :love::love:

(I think that's another cue for a pic. With warning of course ;))

Phew thanks MM. Was starting to fret.

I must admit they are both too cute for words. I keep finding myself just watching them and saying awwww. We let Archie run up and down the stairs for an hour to distract him from licking it all off Pip.
Watching his little butt pop up the stairs is seriously too cute!

Though I'd add a photo of Archie deciding what we are going to watch on tv!

Welcome :)

Archie :love:

He could of course, with a swipe of his gnashers, decide that you watch nothing tonight??

Yes we try not to leave the remote around for his little nashers. Luckily he's never shown interest in it at all. But he does like to eat my rubber soled slippers!

Pip on the otherhand nipped my bum this morning!

:shock:

Is that because she thought the Ivermectin monster was coming?

Haha. She was unaware of the Ivermectin monster at that point. They both don't like things hovering over them... crossed legs is apparently not acceptable. They don't like the hovering foot! We get nipped everytime!

Archie thinks this photo is cuter even though he is looking scruffy from his molting!
