I just looked back on the time frame of the little bald boy I had taken in treated and released.
It took all of two months to regrow his fur. He was taken in on March 2nd, released fully furred May 8th.
Ivermectin can work but there have been others that resorted to Revolution's broader coverage when
they were not seeing expected results. Results may very well have to do with type of mite involved.
"Ivermectin is used to rid animals and humans of many internal and external (blood sucking) parasites.
Lice and hair mites which do not ingest the blood of the host are not affected by Ivermectin administered
orally or by injection."
If you were to consider ordering Revolution from Joe's order early as due to location it can take up to
two weeks for an order to come in.
