our buns are scratching..our kitties have fleas


i never did the kitties as well as i should have a month ago with frontline spay (they were too tiny for spot on) as they were soo teeny despite being 7 and a half weeks old!
only thing is i found some flea dirt and i have found one flea on salem and a bit of grit on them both..not much just some..
now bertie and bif are scratching like crazy but i cant see any fleas or grit..and bertie and the kitties were at the vets yesterday having vaccinations.
I have read online that revolution is great for bunnies..but i cannot find a dosgae guide etc..and the vets here arent rabbit savvy..the one who is is leaving this month.
with my house getting flooded and the ongoing clear ups..i dont want to stress my buns out by using spray or powder( both cause resp problems in ALL bunnies) or use a bath for bunnies with fleas..i cannot get any washing dry its raining bucketloads on this side of the pond! no towels to dry bunnies with1

aaarghhhhh..help!!

When we thought Dexter had fleas the vets ordered a spot-on treatment specially designed for bunnies. It called Advantage 40 and comprises of 4 tubes of treatment, one to be given once a month. You apply to the rear of the neck and it didnt irritate Dexter at all. Ask your vets to order some in if they dont have it.

Oh and it can also be used on cats!!!
