| Don't accidently poison your bunny when treating for fleas.
Not all flea products are safe for rabbits.
This has been an unusually bad flea season. We have seen several rabbits and heard from people calling for advice, that they are trying to treat their rabbits with the wrong products and giving baths which are potently very dangerous. If your bunny is showing signs of fleas or fur mites please read the following information. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us right away.
Safe treatments to prevent and kill fleas on rabbits include Advantage (imidocloprid), Program (lufenuron) and Revolution (selamectin). 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, who can explain dosage and treatment regimens to you at the time of prescription.(We use .4ml per rabbit of Advantage.)
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 that Frontline should never be used on rabbits.
· Flea powders, shampoos, dips and baths, 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.
· 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.
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.
