What do you put on a bunny when they have fleas?

Answer 1

Do not ever wash your bunny it could kill him . Instead spray the rabbits cage/hutch with flea spray and don't let the rabbit in for 24 hours. Brush it with a flea comb daily and drown the fleas in water.

If you use stuff to rub in the fur use Advantage only Advantage it is the safest product to use on rabbits . For dwarf and really small rabbits use 1/2 a dose . The rest use 1 full dose.

make sure if u do use advantage its best on adult rabbits more then young rabbits.

Answer 2

Fleas and MitesSafe treatments to prevent and kill fleas on rabbits include Advantage(imidocloprid), Program (lufenuron) and Revolution (selamectin). (Note: Advantage has been known, rarely, to irritate the skin of certain rabbits.) The latter is preferred, as it is also effective against various types of mites that cause symptoms of mange, ear canker, and "dandruff" (which is often caused by fur mites in the genus Cheyletiella). These products are available from your rabbit-savvy veterinarian. We use .4ml per rabbit of Advantage. For Revolution, we use the kitten dose and apply it between the shoulder blades once a month for at least three doses. Revolution is usually dosed at 6mg/kg. If you have the 60mg/ml solution (ie the kitten solution), use 0.1cc per kg of body weight (1kg = 2.2lb). If you have the 120mg/ml solution, use 0.05cc per kg of body weight. You'll need a tuberculin syryinge (no needle!) from your vet to measure such a small quantity of liquid. Apply to the back of the neck or other area where the bunny can't readily groom it off. It is essential to thoroughly clean your rabbit's cage and exercise areas after each treatment to control reinfestation, since fur and dander in the environment may contain mite eggs.

A flea comb is a non-toxic device that takes more patience, but is both physically and psychologically rewarding. Most rabbits learn to love the attention of being flea combed, and it can be used as a supplement to your main flea-control program.

The following products should NOT be used on rabbits:

• Frontline (fipronil) has been linked to neurological damage and death in rabbits, although this product is apparently safe for dogs and cats. The manufacturer (Merial) has placed a warning on the Frontline label stating thatFrontline should never be used on rabbits.
• Flea powders, even those considered safe for cats and kittens or advertised as "rabbit safe", are not recommended for use on rabbits.
• Flea shampoos, even those considered safe for cats and kittens or advertised as "rabbit safe", are not recommended for use on rabbits. Bathing of rabbits, in general, is strongly discouraged because the stress of the bath itself can cause serious health problems, and has in some cases been linked to the death of the rabbit. Flea baths or dips are NOT recommended for this reason.
• For environmental flea control, sprays and "bombs" are not recommended, as they may leave harmful residue that the rabbit can ingest. Safer alternatives include borax and diatomaceous earth, worked into the carpet where fleas leave their eggs.

Answer 3

For adult rabbits, AdvantageTM (imidocloprid) is one of several safe treatments used to prevent and kill fleas, and is available from any rabbit-savvy veterinarian. However, you should not use such products on a rabbit before it is fully weaned, as it may be too toxic for a baby. Do not use any flea products on a rabbit unless a special "rabbit-savvy" vet has told you to.

You could also consider a flea comb for regular maintenance. It may take more time and patience but is non-toxic, and most rabbits learn to love the attention of being combed. So it has physical and psychological rewards for both you and your pet.

Answer 6

Cat flea powder and/or flea bath.
