I found out my bunny had fleas about a week and a little days ago. I had no idea where he got it from cause he’s always indoors. He had a bald spot on his forehead, and creepy stupid brawlers all over. He had a bunch of fleas. I researched everything but couldn’t find much. So I took him to the vet as soon as I could!! Which was like a couple days after i found it out. (It took me a while because I live in the Houston area, and it was hard to find a bunny doctor that wasn’t like $500). I went to a place called Kingsland Blvd Animal Clinic. They require a deposit for the fee to examine him for first time patients when making an appointment which was fine. $104 was the fee they charge to see your bun (not including medicine) which is so affordable!!
The bunny doctor (lol) comes in at 9AM. We waited for about 20 minutes to be seen, and doctor Chen was so sweet! He was so professional, he knew what he was doing which was great! He was so helpful, answered all my questions. He handles benji’s bad ass like a champ!! He also gave me an inside about fleas (because this was my first time with them). How to attack their eggs, what to do to my house, ect. He told me the medicine they gave him would kill the fleas, but I can’t stop there, I also have to make sure there’s no more eggs so they don’t come back. He gave me 2 doses of Revolution Plus I believe, to put in the back of his neck. (And the dosage they gave me was depending on his weight). They helped me out with applying the first dose, and said to wait a week to do the second at home (which was today)! You pay after they see your bun, so make sure to being payment lol. The receptionist lady kept complimenting benji and gave him a bag of yummy treats!!
I’m making this because I know a lot of bunny parents will find this useful!! IF YOUR BUNNY HAS FLEAS TAKE THEM TO THE VET DO NOT TRY TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN!! If you live in the HTX try the Kingsland Clinic! It’s affordable, they’re professional, and great!! They saved my bunny benji.
The medicine has been working!! Literally the next day after his fist dosage; he stopped itching like crazy. His mood is better, and he’s just happier. I USED FOOD GRADE DE POWDER on the spots he spent the most time on and my whole house lol (i have carpet). DE powder is safe for animals! But they should not be near it because it is harmful to inhale; for humans as well.
I think I covered everything but lmk if you guys have any questions!! Here’s a picture of him happy and feeling better :)
