Awesome
From Newpark, CAComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsAfter 2 years of use Advantage in our puppies, it looks that it cannot control the fleas anymore. The vet said that advantage had been in the market for many years and fleas are immunized against it. He offer a oral product, when in read the instructions it said that is the dog/cat vomit you have to give him more of the medicine. Sick! since the vomiting is a response to toxins that are bad for the organism that instruction is crazy. The breeder has a much better advice: Revolution. Since I use revolution my dogs don't have one flee on it. It is cutaneous topic as Advantage. You only need to talk to your vet so he can give you a prescription that allows refills. If you have a real problem with fleas, this is a minor obstacle. No more jumping or scratching. I have not seen one flea since I use it. -
I will continue to buy this product it really works great !
From TexasComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsGreat product. Works very well and my dog Kirby likes it better than pills. -

My dogs hate heartworm meds, neck application AAA+
From Bay Area, CAComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsMy 3 Maltese, our senior Maltese hates heartworm meds and won't take any oral medication. The 2nd, most of the time will take anything, but once in awhile she is resistant, stubborn and won't take it orally. Our 3rd, scrafs everything down. I didn't realize a liquid application on back of neck was available until I spoke to the breeder of our last Maltese and they recommended Revolution. Never an issue getting their monthly meds now. I always give all 3 dogs mid month and about 2 days before their bath day. Once given, I wait 2 full days before bathing just to be sure it has absorb completely. Our dogs have tested negative for heartworms every year so far. Also, we are not in a high flea area, so never a flea on them. -

From Charleston, SC, USAComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsWe've been using this product on our 25lb Maine Coon cat for a year now. Moved to South Carolina from New Hampshire and were not aware of the fact fleas don't die during the winter months as they do in NH. We had real bad infestation while using another product. Since using an appropriate dose provided by the 15 - 22 lb Revolution, NO FLEAS!-

Q & A
-
How long do I wait to give meds again??
-
The frequency of administering Revolution for cats depends on what it is being used for. For heartworm prevention and flea control, apply topically each month. If you're treating ear mites, apply topically once and then repeat application one month later if necessary. For hookworms and roundworms, apply topically once. If your cat has ancylostoma ceylanicum, apply topically once. For cheyletiellosis, apply topically once a month for a total of 3 treatments. For biting lice and notoedric mange, apply topically once. Please consult your veterinarian with any further questions and dosing directions specific to your pet.

My dog is normally 36 #,she is now 5 weeks pregnant and 40 #. Which dose box should I order? Got vet approval today. Do ya just call my vet??
-
According to Plumb's Veterinary Handbook, Revolution appears to be safe to use in pregnant or lactating dogs. Revolution is indicated for prevention of heartworm disease and to prevent and control flea infestations. Zoetis, the producers of Revolution state that actual body weight should be used when determining the correct dosage for your dog. So for example if your pregnant dog is now 41 lbs, you should select the teal box of Revolution for dogs weighing between 40.1 - 85 lbs.

I have two dogs and one is 20lbs. Should I get the dose foe 10-20lbs or get the bigger dose for 20-40lbs??
-
It depends on what your veterinarian would recommend. If the pet is still growing, the 20-40 pound would probably be better but we suggest speaking with your veterinarian to see which size they would recommend. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Does this work on nasal mites? Is it safe for border collies??
-
Currently, there is no drug approved for the specific indication of nasal mites. However, the use of Revolution has been recommended and is indicated for dogs older than 6 weeks of age. There has been some evidence to suggest potential nerve tissue damage in Collie-type breeds due to a genetic defect when on Revolution. It has been observed that Collies should tolerate the medication at labeled doses, however its use should be used with caution. It would be to your best interest to contact our veterinarian to discuss the benefits of Revolution for your dog. Thank you, VetRxDirect

When I put the revolution on my cat tonight she tried to run, I held her but it ended up more to the side rather than the middle. So she was able to lick her hair a little. Should I be worried? She's fine so far?
-
Revolution contains selamectin, a topical parasiticide, that should be applied at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades to avoid ingestion by the pet. According to the manufacturer, accidental ingestion in cats may cause salivation and possible vomiting. If you have concerns about how much product your cat may have consumed we recommend contacting your veterinarian. Thank you, VetRxDirect
