Fleas

[nangobi]

Should I be applying anything to Bugsy toprevent fleas? The vet didn't think it would be a problem butI was wondering if anyone has encountered this particular issue.

My understanding is that applying preventativetreatment is unneccesary and sometimes dangerous. And if a bunny needsto be treated for flea infestation, you have to be extremely careful asmany over-the-counter medications can be very dangerous.

Thanks for the replies. I only ask because myMym complained that she'd been btten by something while at my house andasked if the rabbit might have fleas. I assured her that wshighly unlikely but though I'd check anyway.

She probably got bitten by a gnat - it's so warm here at the moment there's all sorts of bugs flying around that shouldn't be!
