Rearguard 60 mg/ml Cutaneous Solution

Rearguard comes supplied ready-to-use in a bottle with built-in applicator sponge.
Gently depress the sponge to break the valve before applying.
Apply the product using the sponge applicator, ensuring that the rabbit’s fur is
thoroughly wetted with the solution from the middle of the back to the tip of the tail.
Special attention should be paid to the areas under the tail and between the back
legs. Do not allow the product to run off the animal.
Rabbits should be first treated in early summer before any flies are seen.
Rearguard will not kill adult maggots but works by preventing any eggs laid by
flies developing.
Rabbits should be treated at 8-10 week intervals under conditions of repeated
blowfly challenge. Bathing or washing the rabbit after application may result in a
reduction of efficacy.
In cases of existing flystrike, adult maggots should be removed by mechanical
means and appropriate supportive treatment given. Rearguard should then be
applied to the fur to prevent development of new larvae and re-strike.
