Default Revolution for Mange???

Has anyone ever heard of using Revolution to treat mange? My vet said
to apply the Revolution now and then again in 2 weeks, along with
Ketoconazole once a day for 7 days. Just wondering...
Thanks

It will treat/prevent scarcoptic mange. It is one of the "selling" points.
I do not know how bad your dog's case is, but this may be conservative
treatment.

We are using Revolution for our lab/collie mixed dog. It has been a week
and no change. We are suppose to give Revolution again in 3 weeks and the
vet says it will be months before the sarcoptic mange will be gone. Some
of the ads on the subject of mange relief products sound really good but
it could be a scam.

I'm confused. Are you saying that your vet has told you to treat Sarcoptic
mange with a monthly dose of Revolution? Is the dog getting any kind of
other more frequent treatment for the mange in addition to the Revolution?

My SIL was told by her vet to give their dogs Revolution to treat
canine scabies. It is my understanding that scabies is caused by
little burrowing mites.

The mite burrow to lay eggs but they also walk around on the surface of the
skin and mate. The eggs hatch in the little tunnels, grow to adulthood,
mate and lay more eggs. Revolution is one of several monthly preventatives,
given most popularly for heartworms, that work for treatment of sarcoptic
mange but not just on a monthly basis. A second, bi-weekly, dose needs to
be administered in the case of sarcopsis. Most vets I know treat with an
oral but they also administer dips or baths so that they are able to combat
the infestation two ways and hopefully resolve the problem more quickly.
