For what it's worth, I've read that, unlike Advantage, you shouldn't
split up the dog tubes of Revolution. I know the Revolution dog doses
are a higher concentration (double the concentration if I recall
correctly, but possibly even more) than the cat dose, so that advice
may just be based on that alone, but I think it's also possible that
the drug doesn't stay in perfect suspension and you can therefore get
unreliable doses from splitting. I'd love more info on this.
Mostly I'm throwing this out there as a reminder for people to pay
attention to the mg and not the ml, as you have done above, but also
because I'd love input on the suspension itself. If this is safe to do
after all, it would make monthly revolution treatments a lot more
viable for my household.
