Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. Revolution is a topical treatment that can be quite effective for dealing with sarcoptic mange, which is caused by tiny mites that burrow under the skin of your pet, leading to intense itching and irritation.
After applying Revolution, you might start seeing improvements in your pet’s condition within a few days to a week. The itching often begins to subside as the mites are killed off, but it’s important to remember that different pets can respond at different rates. Make sure to follow the application instructions closely.
At home, you can help by ensuring your pet doesn’t scratch too much, as excessive scratching can lead to skin infections. Keeping their nails trimmed and distracting them with toys or activities can help minimize further irritation.
If you notice your pet is still extremely itchy after a week, or if they develop red, swollen skin, lose fur, or seem lethargic, it would be wise to seek further veterinary advice. These could be signs that the infestation is severe or that your pet is having another type of reaction.
I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet if you're concerned or not seeing improvement, so we can tailor advice specifically to your pet's needs and ensure they're on the road to recovery.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
