Does Revolution Plus kill ear mites in cats effectively?

After applying Revolution Plus to my cat last week, I noticed she's been scratching her ears less, which makes me hopeful it's working. However, I'm not entirely sure if it's eliminating the ear mites completely or just providing temporary relief. Can Revolution Plus effectively handle an ear mite infestation, or should I look into other treatments?

Answer

Your concern about your cat experiencing relief from ear scratching after using Revolution Plus is valid. While the medication can treat ear mites, it's important to evaluate if it's solely providing temporary relief or effectively eliminating the infestation.

  • Revolution Plus can help treat and manage ear mite infestations in cats.
  • Temporary relief can be a sign the treatment is working, but ongoing symptoms might require further evaluation.
  • Monitoring your cat and consulting with a vet can ensure comprehensive care.

Revolution Plus is designed to treat a range of parasites, including ear mites. It works by eliminating the adult mites that cause discomfort and scratching. However, while it is often effective, some infestations might need additional treatments or a vet's advice to completely resolve. Monitoring your cat's health and behaviors can help determine if additional steps are needed for full recovery.
