revolution

[bumpybunny]

I found a flea on my bun and her vet told me to get this. I just wanted to see if anyone here has used it and if it had any side effects or anything like that? is it safe if she ingests it? I’ve had some bad experiences with other vets so I just like to double check things like this. my rabbit is 4.4 pounds and a lionhead. TIA!

The safety of Revolution has not been assessed following accidental oral ingestion, as well an experiment was conducted and here is the result  “No adverse effects were observed when Revolution was applied at 10 times the recommended dose and in pregnant and lactating females, breeding males and females.” Please always remember that all rabbits are different and some will react differently from others, but I have found it is safe. You’re Welcome 🙂

Revolution is very safe and that dosage is appropriate. You do want to place it so they can’t immediately groom it off. I apply it to my buns right at the base of their skull/top of the neck, sometimes if you go towards the base of the neck they can partially groom the area. If you have a bonded pair you should separate them until it dries so they don’t groom it off of each other.

Yes, Revolution is considered safe. Of course there is a risk of allergic reaction with ANY flea treatment, but this is rare. People have been treating their bunnies safely with Revolution for years. As Dana said, it’s best to put it somewhere they can’t reach it. The Revolution needs to stay until it dries.
