Kim, I've been dividing the Advantage up for years. I purchased tubes for larger breed and put it all in a seperate small bottle then drew up what I needed for each of mine with a "diabetic size" syringe. I'm going to do the same thing with the Revolution. I purchased a tube for med size breed. Thanks for bringing that up because there are alot of folks who don't realize that can be done. Vets don't like it because it takes away from their profit. But i've never encountered a vet that wouldnt sell to me that way once I let them know that I knew it was perfectly legal and I knew what I was talking about. Pat told me about petshed. If I am happy with the Revolution, I'll be ordering it in the future from there. No prescription needed. I did want to get the first doses from my vet in case there is any problem with it, they cannot say that it was not recommended by them. (reactions, what not)
