What is different between Revolution and Revolution Plus for cats?
The difference between Revolution and Revoluion plus for cats is that Revolution for cats only contains the active Selamectin which is a member of the avermectin group of parasiticides. Revolution Plus contains the actives Selamectin and Sarolaner. Sarolaner is a member of the isoxazoline class of parasiticides. Both Selamectin and Sarolaner will kill fleas, mites and lice. Therefore Revolution Plus has the benefits of dual action protection against these parasites. These parasites don't stand a chance. By adding the Sarolaner it also gives Revolution Plus tick-killing power!
How fast does Revolution Plus work?
Fleas - Revolution Plus starts killing fleas within 6 hours of application and will have the cat nearly 100% flea free within 24 hours. The cat will be protected for 5 weeks from fleas. As the product kills the fleas so fastthey are unable to lay any eggs which breaks the flea life cycle. Of course any existing eggs and larvae you have in your environment are still going to hatch but they will be quickly killed by the Revolution Plus and wont be able to breed. This is the same with any flea treatment that you start on. You will still see fleas for a short period until the ones in the environment are killed. They are pesky creatures but be assured that with your cat on Revolution plus and all other animals in your household on flea control you will get on top of them.
Ticks - For many of us this is the most exciting thing about this product. To be able to protect out cats from deadly paralysis ticks is so important. Cats generally do badly with tick paralysis, it is more often than not fatal. Revolution Plus is effective against ticks after 24 hours. Your cat will be protected for 5 weeks. It is important to always check your cats daily for ticks and this product does not claim 100% efficacy. ( All the scientific data is pretty close :)
Heartworm - Heartworm is spread from cats and dogs via mosquitos, so it does not matter whether your cat has contact with other animals or not. The dreaded mosquito carries the microfilariae (baby worms) that they infect your cat with, they then grow into large worms that live in the heart and destroy it. Revolution Plus must be given monthly to protect your cat from Heartworm. Revolution Plus can safely be given to cats that already have Heartworm - it is not effective against mature heartworms, but it will not kill them. It is a good veterinary practice that if your cat is over 6 months and has not been on heartworm prevention to get a test done at the vet. Cats generally dont show signs of heartworm disease until it is too late.
Worms - Revolution Plus will protect your cat against Hookworms and Roundworms. It is very important your cat is treated for Roundworm and it is easily transferred to people and can migrate to the liver, lungs, brain and eyes. If it migrates to the eyes blindness can occur. Children are often at the most risk, however, anybody can be affected. Revolution Plus does not do tapeworm. It is good practice to give your cat tapeworm treatment every 3 months. The Tapeworm tablets are small, inexpensive and easy to give.
Ear Mites - A single does of Revolution Plus will be effective in treating ear mites and keeping them away
Lice - Protection for your cat for a full month.
Revolution Plus has been tested and has proven safe with other frequently used veterinary products such as anthelmintics, anti-biotics, anti-inflammatories, parasiticides and vaccines. If your cat is on Veterinary prescribed medication it is always a good idea to check with your vet.
Revolution Plus has not been tested for safety during pregnancy and lactation or in animals used for breeding.
Things to remember
- Only apply to dry hair. Do not apply to your cat if it's wet
- Do not give to kittens under 8 weeks of age or weighing less than 1.25kg
- Wash hands after handing
- Do not touch the area it has been applied to or let children play with the cat until its dry
