Product Information

Full details

Rearguard 6% w/v Cutaneous Solution is a specialized veterinary treatment designed for rabbit owners who need to protect their pets from the life-threatening condition known as blowfly strike (Lucilia sericata). This product works by interrupting the lifecycle of fly eggs, preventing them from developing into maggots for up to 10 weeks per application. While highly effective, users must follow strict veterinary instructions and ensure precise application, as this product is specifically formulated for domestic rabbits and is subject to regional shipping restrictions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying, read the entire product label provided on the packaging to ensure correct dosage for your rabbit's weight. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep it out of reach of children. When applying, use gloves to avoid direct contact with your own skin and ensure the area is clean and dry. Avoid washing the rabbit immediately after application to ensure the solution is fully absorbed into the skin. If you have any concerns regarding the dosage, contact your veterinary surgeon immediately to confirm the correct volume for your specific pet.
