I was going to put some Advantage on my rabbits to protect them from fleas, but I found a small tick on Chewy's ear. I think Advantage only works for fleas, and will not protect them from ticks. Are there any preventative flea meds that I can use on my rabbits that also works for ticks? I know that Revolution (Selamectin) works, but I need a perscription for that. I am hoping to find one I can just order on-line. |

Actually, I like ivermectin. I inject it subsutaneously in the loose skin near the nape of the neck. (.1 cc/lb of body weight)

Thanks Charlcie. They have an exercise area that is shaded by grape vines. I'm sure that is where the tick came from. Is there something I could use to spray the vines with to eliminate the ticks that would be safe for rabbits? |
