I am not a vet. I got the idea that the blackheads in rattail might be
caused by mites or some other small organism. I had read here of people
treating it with ivermectin with some good results. Well, Booger had had
rattail for 6 months with a very dense growth of blackheads. Since
Revolution is supposed to kill a bunch of critters, I began treating my
kids with Revolution once a month. It sort of worked. The blackheads
washed out, but so far no hairgrowth, but that could take until his next
shed before it grows back.
