Dog Revolution dosage for cats? Found the answer!

[krazyaboutkatz]

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!

Well, I just returned from the vet....

He said, YES, you can use dog Revolution on cats, but you adjust the dosage.. This chart is ONLY for the 85-139 lb dog size of the Revolution.

This is the correct dosage for the size Revolution I bought per the vet.

For all adult cats that weigh 5-15 lbs, use .3cc.
For all adult cats that weight 1-5 lbs, use .12cc.

If I am using large dog Revolution and want to measure it for my small dogs:

for dogs that weigh 5-10 lbs, use .25cc
for dogs that weigh 10-20 lbs, use .5 cc

I trust my vet! I bought syringes (the long ones) from his office and also bought 6 months of Revolution in the 85-139 lb size for my dogs and cats. It's enough for quite a few months for all my animals. Also, just for info, I also bought some Profender. He advised to NOT use this on the same day I use the Revolution. Use one one day and then the other the next day. He also said to put the profender at the very base of the skull as they can't lick it.

I want to clarify one thing on my previous post. The dosage chart in my answer is for the Revolution pack that is ONLY for the 85-139 lbs package of Revolution. If I go down in poundage for the dogs Revolution package, the cats dosage would be adjusted as well. I don't know the adjustment, as I only asked him about the size package I was buying. So my chart, from my vet, is ONLY for the 85-139 lb dog size of the Revolution. I just wanted to clarify in case this throws someone off.

Thanks, Jenn

I would have edited my post, but I am unable to until I am an approved member.. I just wanted to clarify in case this throws someone off.

Thanks, Jenn

No problem, and you are approved now!
