Well one flea I found on me today , my neighbor has cats and they had fleas. Ohhh I hate those lil bugers!!!!:X I am afraid that ramona might get them. If she already has, how can I check and what can I use to treat her if she does have them?
Ohh nooooo I hate fleas!:(
 
hi erin

i hate flies as im partically sighted

i cansee them but i can hear them horrible things

i no someone on here said if you can put vanilla extract or must bevanilla essance into your rabbits drinking water it can stop the flies

varna xxxx

dont no the quanities but just ask

someone will no
 
I called my vet and he said that he has thesmallest dose of advantge and it will be ok for her// he also said tobathe her I did and she seemed to be fine...she didn't get upset oranything. so I am going to pick it up tonight
 
I know some brands of spot-type fleatreatmentscan cause reactions....one of mine died fromRevolution.:(It was nasty. Very angry at the vet thatprescribed it....and assured me it was safe!

My personal favorite is cat flea powder, but my brandsays for adult animals only.

Good luck! I hate 'em too!

Heard Brewer's Yeast in the food helps too, and safe as far as I know.

I PM'd you...but shouldadd that my boywas 8 1/2 yrs. old, so the age could have factored in his reaction. Andas Buck said, something can work for one and another can have a strongreaction.

If it's already done, don't beat yourself up. You couldn't have known. I've been there.:?

Your rabbit is young, and hopefully will do just fine. What you wouldsee if she reacts to it is a tiny bare patch of skin at the applicationspot. Within a week, that would turn into a scabbed sore, which couldgrow. It may look like ringworm, but it's not. If you see that, the keyis to keep it from getting infected. I used melaleuca oil, and itworked great, but I've read that some rabbits can have side effects tothat so try something else. I also used olive oil to soothe it.

Did she ingest any of it? From what I saw with my boy, that would be abigger issue than the skin burn. The burn looks nasty but heals.

Oh, I know how you feel.....it's not your fault!!!!

best, and Pm me anytime,

Rose
 
ugggh is right.

The bare spot, if she reacts to it, should appear within a week, so keep an eye on things!

Good luck,

Rose

I'm not sure, but I would imagine that the baby girl has not yet pickedup on the idea that she needs to clean herself. She's probably used toher mommy doing it.

Grooming is a natural instinct that she should develop in time. Whileshe's still a baby you (or Thumper) may need to help her out a bit.Especially if she gets a poopie butt.

:~) Jim
 
Well i got the little one from the petstore about3 weeks ago she is aboutten oreleven weeks old. Iclean her when she needs to be cleaned and thumper ( she thinks thatshere mommy) cleans her whenever there together.Thanks for theinformation Jim.
