Dog Revolution dosage for cats? Found the answer!

[smokey the elder]

As long as the concentration (mg/mL) is the same for the different sized tubes, you can portion out dog doses for cats. It can even be done with different concentrations, by figuring out the dose in mg the animal needs (be very careful with this method and have someone else check you calculations!)

Both the dog and cat versions of Revolution have the same active ingredient, selamectin. However, the strength (concentration) is double in the dog doses; moreover, you get more per vial.

I use the Revolution Plum for X-Large dogs to treat my feline pets and rescues. One vial of the Xlarge dog treats 16 cats if they weigh over 5lbs. That comes out to 4 drops per cat. I squeeze the tube into a clean shot glass and use a dropper. For kittens over 6 weeks, only 2 drops are needed.

It works on fleas, ticks, ear mites, mange, and many worms, including heartworm. It is also long-lasting: typically treatment is needed every two months. It also seems well tolerated and doesn't lose effectiveness (like Advantage seems to do after a while).

I use the following dosage chart, which was reviewed by several Vets. I use the 120 mg/ml 6mg/kg concentration, which is in the 40 to 85 lb solution. Run these by your Veterinarian as well. I pour the liquid from single dose tubes into a tinted bottle for storage and apply the proper dosage using a 1 ml (cc) syringe (no needle, of course) as you normally would (i.e. part fur at base of neck and apply liquid).

I use the above table to dose multiple cats. When dosing multiple cats, I suggest you have more than one syringe available. The Revolution solution will erode (fade) the ink off of the syringe, making it difficult to get accurate readings on smaller doses. Dispose of all syringes when done dosing your cats. Do not store them or wash them off for re-use.

I don't use revolution but I do use advantage for my cats. I buy the largest dog advantage and then I measure it out according to the weight of my cats. I do rinse and reuse the syringes. You need to put surgical tape or any other kind of tape to mark them because I do know that the numbers will fade with time. I use surgical tape. I just use two doses of .4ml for cats 8lbs and under and .8ml for cats over 9lbs. Most of my cats are over 9lbs. I also squirt the advantage in about 4 spots behind the neck area. I found that if you squirt the whole thing in one spot that this will cause irritation and sometimes hair loss in cats.

I admit to using an antihistamine that has my brain fogged, but I am missing where the 6 (mg/kg) came from at the top of your chart. I didn't flunk any math that I know of!

Do you happen to know the appropriate numbers for the Plum 85.1 - 130 pound dog version?

Also, my cats of varying weights, all get 1 tube from the cat Blue box. I like that we can better determine the best dose (by specific pounds), but since all of mine are getting 1 full tube as though they were all 15 pounds, how do you know for sure that limiting the dosage "is enough"? I'd like to not use anything that they don't need, but I don't want to short them and end up with heart worms.

Also are you rounding up or down to the next full pound?

Thanks!
