Flea?

[SynysterBunny]

[align=center]My new 7-week old Flemish giant might have a flea. I was scratching her nose and thought I saw a black speck. It vanished. So I just want to know, do I treat her just in case? And what do I use?

Give her a good look over and check for them. At 7 weeks old I'd be weary to give anything but revolution can be used and must be purchased from a vet.

Check for fleas and flea dirt (this is excrement from fleas)
Here is what flea dirt would look like

That is what I was worried about, her age. But she goes to the vet soon. She is very clean, no dirt, I just think I saw a flea on her nose! And then it vanished. But I'll keep checking.

EEEEEK fleas are sucky! I hope it was nothing!

Good luck!

Make sure to mention it at the vet check.

Revolution or Advantage.
Ask your vet for the kitten - size dose, for your rabbit. Be sure they are aware it is a bunny

Here's a link to the RO Library forum article on Fleas, with instructions on how to check for flea presence and clean up of rabbits and their environment.

The revolution one is mauve colored. The kitten advantage is orange.
