Do ear mites actually fall off or drop away when you use Revolution? I'm just really worried because I can't see any difference and I'm not sure if it's working.

I recently applied Revolution to my pet to deal with what I suspect are ear mites, but I haven’t noticed any changes yet, and I'm getting concerned. I thought the mites would fall off or disappear visibly, but there doesn’t seem to be a noticeable difference. Is it normal for the effects to be subtle, or should I notice a reduction in itching or dirt in the ears by now?

Answer

Your concern about the lack of immediate improvement after applying Revolution for ear mites is understandable. While you may expect visible changes right away, the effects can sometimes be subtle.

  • It may take time for visible signs of improvement to appear.
  • Monitor for reduced itching or less ear debris.
  • Contact a vet if symptoms persist or worsen.

Revolution is an effective treatment against ear mites, but it may take a couple of weeks to see significant improvement. The medication works by killing the mites gradually, which means you might not see an immediate reduction in visible mites or debris. Instead, keep an eye on whether your pet's itching decreases over time. It's important to follow up with a vet if the symptoms persist or if your pet's condition seems to deteriorate.
