I know Revolution for cats is usually considered safe for squirrels. 1 drop between the shoulder blades? Also, is it safe if the squirrel has seizures? I'm not 100% sure that it's seizures that I am seeing. Sometimes he will stop and his head will drift a bit but it is super short and he seems to just snap out of it.

I’m sorry, I don’t know if it would be safe for a squirrel with seizures. What you’re describing doesn’t sound like the way I have heard seizures described. Maybe others will be familiar with what you’re describing.
The Revolution that is recommended is for kittens less than 5 pounds.
Revolution is dosed by weight of the squirrel. You would need a current weight for someone to dose it for you....

The revolution is just 1 or 2 drops between the shoulder blades.
If you have an inside squirrel (or a squirrel you can weigh), and you are dosing invermentin, that is dosed
by weight, after it's diluted 1 part ivermectin to 9 parts propylene glycol or sterile water.
Ivermectin should NOT be given to squirrels with seizures.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I'll put 1 drop between his shoulders and keep an eye on him. I positively adore this little guy and don't want anything to happen to him. He recently came inside after being out where he picked up a few fleas, and I do not want an infestation. :shakehead

You could always give him a bath using dawn.
I'm not sure how easily you can handle him though.

I gave mine a bath twice, once when I first got him I bathed him in dawn and he ate into a glow in the dark bracelet and the stuff got on both of us and it burned so I had to wash him immediately

Eli is super docile, but he did bite me once, and I'm not kidding when I say it took almost a year for me to regain the feeling in my thumb. I just can't imagine attempting to bathe him now. :shark1
