What safe monthly medicine can I use for my outdoor rabbit's fleas?

If you're unsure of the type of parasite causing issues for Theodore, it is best to seek veterinary care to have any of the mites/bites examined and parasite type found. There are safe topical flea medications available for rabbits through your vet such as advantage and revolution that can help prevent fleas and mites, and your vet can also use a special type of lamp to check the area for ringworm. If you do see fleas, you can use a fine-toothed comb and a gentle bath with Dawn dish soap to kill/suffocate fleas and safely remove them without chemicals.

The best flea / mite treatment and preventative in my opinion for rabbits Revolution, which is a prescription product marketed for cats and dogs. Typically, in a small Lionhead rabbit, you should use the smallest size of Revolution available, which is designed for kittens under 5 lbs. Hope this helps.

You will have to treat Prince with a rabbit safe flea treatment, flea treat any other animals in the house, and you have to disinfect the environment as well. Advantage is safe to use on rabbits. To disinfect the environment, wash his bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. I hope this helps!

There are not specific products for rabbits. Only certain cat products can be used on rabbits and it requires precise dosing based upon the body weight. Speak with your veterinarian before starting any flea products on Bean Sprout. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

No you can't use any of the things you have suggested, this won't solve a flea problem. there is no natural/home remedies alternative to flea treatment, none of the ones you will find suggested will work. a cheap and effective flea treatment i recommend for rabbits is Advantage spot on.

Thanks for reaching out about Moyel. For a medium sized rabbit like this, then entire tube of the 5 pound and under can be used, even though she is slightly larger than 5 pounds. It should be repeated monthly for 2-3 applications. All rabbits in the house need to be treated even if no evident lesions. Cats can also possible transmit this. Also, don't forget to have her spayed as intact female rabbits could have a rate of uterine cancer up to 50% by three year of age. Good luck.

Hi there, I'm unfamiliar with this product use in rabbits. In the future, I would recommend using Revolution from a veterinarian, as the active ingredient selamectin has been well studied for its safety in rabbit species. I think everything else about your plan sounds great though. You can add bedding and blankets to help with sore hocks, as well as making sure he is a lean body condition (not overweight). I love the LaFeber website for small mammal articles: https://lafeber.com/mammals/rabbits/ I hope that's helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
