Can you tell me what the drop treatment is.

I believe it is frontline that will kill a rabbit.   Check with your vet and get the flea oil drops you stick on the back of their necks that should help

A vet would be a good idea for the buns cuz of their weight.    Usually the kitten size is used for buns

The only rid-flea product cleared for rabbits is Advantage for kittens.

You can also use Revolution as well.

Let us know what it is you are trying to use.

I find it ironic that there are so few products indicated for use on pet rabbits when most medications are tested on lab bunnies.

I got a small supply of Advantage for kittens, and you don’t use a full dose on bunnies, but that won’t harm them.

Be careful when it comes to household products you may be tempted to try, like the carpet cleaners. The bunnies are close to the floor in a way the cat would not be, so they are potentially harmful.

No kidding hey? Most of the meds you use for bunnies are off label (meaning for other animals or indications…)

i have revolution but it is the teal for large dogs. if doesed properally, my best freind is a vet tech, would this be safe for them?

I am not demeaning your friend who is probably a wonderful vet tech-but I would NOT give this med unless and until a vet prescribes it-with the dosing info

I would ask the vet to dose this – it’s really just a matter of dosage for Revolution so I think that if you ask the vet and get the proper dosage you are fine.

This is just it, you cannot dose it properly. I am surprised if any veterinary staff would sign off on that. Never ever use a product that is measured for a specific weight range on a much smaller animal — you won’t get the dose right. The teal revolution is for dogs weighing between 40 and 85 lbs. The dosage tubes are tiny. It would be hard to measure the contents correctly, and you would be wasting an expensive drug, too, as you have to discard of the remainder. Also, once you use some from the tube your dosage for your dog will be off. Your vet tech friend should be able to get you the kitten Advantage easily.

The flea medication is made with a higher concentration of ‘active ingredients’ for larger dogs so changing the dosage (from say 4 drops to 1) will not vary that concentration amount – which is what will harm the rabbit. You do need to get the kitten brand.

You may also want to take a stool sample of your cat into the vet and have it checked for worms. It is possible that it has a parasite (like a tapeworm) that is causing the skinny issues – which could also be transmitted to rabbits if they come across a contaminated litter pan/area.

I would not use any Hartz product on a rabbit or a cat that could be anywhere NEAR a rabbit.  You need to use Advantage for Revolution for all the pets under vet supervision for dosing.  A vet will not really even be able to adive you much on the Hartz product as they are generally unfamiliar with the cheaper ineffective treatments.

Please DON’T use any Hartz product on your pet. Hartz is under fire for their flea and tick products killing innocent pets. I’m surprised their stuff is still on store shelves. Of course, Hartz denies any wrongdoing.

I recommend to use 1 product only  on ALL your pets (cats, dogs, if you have any, and rabbits) in the indicated dosage tubes. The problem with using multiple products on pets of the same household is that different flea products can become very dangerous when present in combination, especially the Hartz products, which have not even been cleared for use on rabbits.
