REVOLUTION will control any subsequent sarcoptic mange mite infestations.Because of the difficulty in
finding sarcoptic mange mites on skin scrapings, effectiveness assessments also were based on reso-
lution of clinical signs.Resolution of the pruritus associated with the mite infestations was observed in
approximately 50%of the dogs 30 days after the first treatment and in approximately 90%of the dogs
30 ays fter he econd monthly treatment.
And with the age of this pup and with his other issues, thought a less aggressive approach might be better? My vet had me repeat the dose in 3 weeks. I think the stuff is very safe, maybe she could decide after seeing how her pup responds to it? If she can even get it.

It's worth a try this way, but it seems that vets prefer to do another after two weeks. I guess it depends on the vet...
