No, this is like a liquid type formula that you put on the back of her neck. It is safe. Will it help with the problem…not sure but it won’t hurt.

She cannot lick it – I would just separate them for about 30 minutes and it should be fine.

You should be able to put in it on an area that she can not lick off. I think the instructions advise to put on the very back of the neck. If your bunnies are big groomers you may want to keep them separated for several hours. I know on Advantage is advises to keep them separate for 12 hours and so I keep Jack and Viv apart overnight when they get their treatment of Advantage or Revolution. Though once it has dried, it should be okay. My bunny Jack just happens to be a big “Demander of Grooming” and so any bunny around him is “obliged” to groom him — thus I keep separated.

Keep us updated with how this works for the chin thing….such a mystery really. 

If that doesn’t work, I would recommend a tooth check if you haven’t already (sorry, if you have, and I have forgotten) 

It’s easy for indoor bunnies to get fleas. Fleas can travel in on other animals, people, clothing. You can pet a dog with fleas or walk in an area has fleas, and you or your outdoor pet become a flea taxi ride. It’s beginning to get warmer and fleas are ready and hungry. The actual fleas are hard to spot, but they leave their debris (poo) on the animal normally down the back part of the spine. So you should be able to see dark spots on the spine line down in the fur toward the back.

Revolution is great because it not only kills fleas but tackles mites too so, at least you have that covered.

Keeping fingers crossed that this solves her problem!

I’m rather curious about this. My dogs and cats have all gotten fleas (pain in the butt, prevention is the best way to go) but never my rabbit. I check her fur when I brush her (fuzzy little Lionhead) but I’ve never spotted a flea, any dirt, and I use a flea comb for part of the grooming and still… nothing. Plus she doesn’t ever chew or over do it on the grooming.

Is my rabbit just lucky? Or is it possible that fleas have a preference for blood and would rather harass my cats and dogs than my rabbit?

I suppose it doesn’t matter, except that I guess I should keep on the lookout since they can get fleas. Oooh, this reminds me that I need heartworm prevention for the animals…

I’d just keep an look out — the fleas may not bother your bunny if they have such reliable hosts in your cat and dog, but it’s something you will want to keep an eye on. Many times rabbits will do the same thing dogs d when they have fleas, they’ll quickly try and reach– bite/groom part of their back leg. thigh, spine, where the fleas feel the “safest to feed”.

Amazingly though, I recently found out from first hand experience that there are fleas that are Advantage resistant. I had treated Jack two month in a row, only to still find one very nasty persistent flea!!   I confirmed with my vet that they are finding med resistent fleas!  So now he will be treated with Revolution and hopefully that will help.  Vivian is not bothered the same way Jack is so there is definitely something to a fleas picking their hosts!
