Bunny with fleas

[zookeeperinaltha]

Snotz my bunny has fleas really bad. The vet says to use dog flea spray, another says no it will kill her, but he offered no advice. Anyone know what I can do?

Call a rabbit expert vet. Miss Hoppy's vet is a highly recommended bunny expert, Dr. Elizabeth Hartman: (781) 237-0066 (Massachusetts)

Rabbit.org has different acrticles that reccomend different treatments, so you are safest speaking to a bunny expert.

No bunny experts here we are in the country and the vets here are of no help they are mostly for cows and horses.
I'll look where you suggested...I have no long distance we normally use a calling card but I need to buy a new one

Now that I see you're in Florida, see

for a list of bunny vets - maybe one is not long distance for you?

Karen....I gave her her first bath today and got the fleas off....she didn't have any on her body just her face. She was so good in the tub and loved it..I also found out that advantage for cats is what everyone uses....Rabbits are just hard because so many things can harm them or even cause death. For now I will just stick with the baths and if it doesn't work for long I will use the advantage. I called 1 place Friday and they wanted to see her...It wasn't a place near by so they wouldn't tell me anything.
Thanks for the help.
