Pregnant rabbit with fleas!!!

Hi, i have a pregnant rabbit that I have just noticed that she has fleas. All my other rabbits don't so I don't know how she got them. I was told to give her a flea bath but loads of people said don't. I also can't put any flea treatment on as she's pregnant. I don't know what to do as I don't want her to pass the fleas onto her babies when their born. I'm panicking so much rn. Any help would be great!

Revolution (selamectin) is safe for use on pregnant animals.
It is dosed at 18mg/kg.
If 1 rabbit has fleas they likely all do and you should be treating them all even if you cant see fleas on the other rabbits.

I am treating them to I just wasn't so worried as their not pregnant. I will try that thank you.

It might be called Stronghold in the UK. Just look for the active ingredient of selamectin.

I can't find any for rabbits and where can i get it from, I am in the UK. Thanks

You will actually need your vet to give you a prescription for it. It can be ordered at most online pet supplies(with vet rx), or your vet office might carry it. The only other option for fleas in rabbits that doesn't require a prescription, is Advantage for rabbits, but I don't think it's safe for a pregnant rabbit. In my opinion Stronghold is the more effective and safer of the two, but it is rx.

Ok thank you so much. I'll book an appointment for the vets. And I'll get advantage for the others.
