Can I split a full dose of revolution between my adult cat and kitten?

Hi there! It’s great that you’re considering the best way to protect both your adult cat and kitten from parasites, but it’s essential to be cautious when it comes to dosing medications like Revolution.



Revolution is specifically dosed based on an animal's weight, and splitting a dose can lead to inaccurate dosing. This can not only make the treatment less effective, potentially leaving your pets vulnerable to fleas, ticks, and other parasites, but it might also risk overdosing, especially for your kitten. Kittens are more sensitive to medications, and even a slight overdose can lead to side effects such as vomiting or lethargy.



At home, you should monitor both your cat and kitten for any signs of skin irritation, unusual behavior, or illness, especially if they’ve been given an incorrect dose. If any signs appear, or if they're scratching more than usual, it could be a signal of inadequate protection or an adverse reaction.



I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We can help personalize the right dosage plan for both your cats, ensuring they’re safe and well-protected. It’ll give you peace of mind knowing they’re getting the best care tailored just for them. Looking forward to helping you and your furry friends!
