    I should also add a noticing the squirrels outside right now a few of them have mange pretty bad I have given them each a pecan with revolution on it in the other day just as a precaution before I even noticed this rash on him I did give him one drop of revolution but now I am wondering if I should have given him two drops he is pretty big almost 2 lb he does seem very itchy how often can revolution be applied I gave him the one drop on the 22nd of this month so just a couple days ago

    Go to the drug store (or Walmart) and buy a bottle of 10% povidone iodine. The brand name is Betadyne but most places have their own generic which is a bit less money for the same stuff. It looks like a little squeeze bottle full of blood!

    Mix it at about 1/2 teaspoon to 1/4 cup water, and using a cotton ball or small piece of absorbent cloth, saturate the sores and the area around them with the solution you made. It will dye him a little bit orange! It doesn't sting or burn at all, and if you warm it up to the same temp as his body he will hardly notice it. It kills bacteria, fungus and viruses so regardless of what this is, it will likely take care of it. I always think staph when I see these little sores on them and it is extremely good for that. Do it once or twice a day. Don't put anything else on the sores - just let them air dry with the solution on them.

    Thank you I will order that. And I'm not sure if you saw my comment above I finally received my revolution revolution the order finally got here but I had enough that I gave him one drop the other day on the 22nd because some squirrels outside have had mange pretty bad and I had treated a couple of them with a drop on a pecan but I had enough left to give him a drop on the back of his neck but I only gave him one drop and he is almost 2 lb He's a pretty big guy He's 860 g how often can revolution be repeated and is one drop for a big guy like him to little a amount

    I picked it up last night and put it on the way you said . And again this morning he didn't mind it at all . I think he knew he was going to get a yogurt drop after 😂 thank you ❤️

    LOL. By the way, that povidone iodine will work just as well on you as it does him. You don't want to use it on super deep wounds but it is great for the skin stuff.

    And yes, I would put at least one more drop of Revolution on him - you can do it immediately.
