Question
What is the right dose of Ivomec for a rabbit

Answer
Dear James,

If you are considering using ivermectin, I would steer you towards its more recently developed "cousin," selamectin (brand name Revolution or Stronghold, depending where you are).  It is topical, doesn't upset the tummy as oral ivermectin often does, and lasts about 30 days.  Like ivermectin, it is effective against mites, fleas, at least two types of ticks, and likely roundworms.

You can get Revolution from a rabbit-savvy vet:

The published dose is 6mg/kg.

Hope that helps.
