Revolution for bunnies?

[okiron]

I read somewhere that Revolution was ok to use on bunnies. Now I would think with the sensitive skin bunnies have, Revolution would be way too strong for them. What do you think? And if it's ok, would you get them the ones intended for dogs or cats? Is there much of a difference?

Revolution is cat and dog fleas, heartworm, ear mites, hookworm and roundworm medication for those who might not know. One drop of those things and the fleas just drop dead on the spot.

Hi there,

My bunnies have had mites two summers ina row, and I've received revolution to treat them once a month for three months to get rid of them. My bunnies don't have any adverse reactions to the revolution and it works well to get rid of the mites.

There have been bunnies that have had adverse reactions, however.

There is some information in the mites thread:

and the fleas thread:

We use Revolution on all incoming and have never had a bad reaction. Have even used it on those delicate cottontails too. Most of the vets in this area also use it with no problems.
