From Boston, MA, USAComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsI bought this for my dog over the summer when she was had horrible allergies, and apparently fleas. I was going crazy because she was going crazy and she was not herself for months. After months and months of steroids, and allergy testing, I bought this med and within 48 she was miraculously healed and back to her old self. I was told this is can effectively treat scabies and I was out of options. I swear by this med! And you dont have to give a monthly heart worm pill! -

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

how long does it take for revolution to kill fleas after application?
-
According to the package insert, laboratory studies found that greater than 98% of fleas were killed within the first 36 hours. The first application of this product will kill all fleas and eggs on your pet, but there is no information supporting when complete eradication will occur.The fleas on your pet, however, are only a small percentage of the fleas that could be infesting your home. Fleas like to be in dark places, such as carpet fibers, upholstery, bedding, and even behind baseboards. Some household cleaning tips to help get rid of fleas include: vacuum the carpets thoroughly (throw away the bag/empty out vacuum after each use as flea eggs can hatch within them); sweep and mop hardwood and linoleum flooring; wash your pet's bedding with hot water to kill the flea eggs and larva; and wash your pet's toys. Be sure to keep up this vigorous cleaning regimen until the flea problem is solved. You may consider treating your yard as well if fleas continue to be a persistent problem. Thank you, VetRxDirect

I have purchased revolution online many times and have never needed a prescription. Why do you require it!?
-
Revolution, as well as all other heartworm preventative products, do require a prescription from your veterinarian in order to be legally dispensed. Many veterinarians will require an exam and heartworm testing prior to prescribing Revolution. Talk to your veterinarian about getting a prescription for Revolution. Thank you, VetRxDirect
