Stronghold/Revolution

This is a horrible product. Will never touch it again. My 8 year healthy cat started having what could only be described as a mini fit 10 minutes after application. And then follow couldn't stand properly, walk up the stairs and was not the same for the next few days. Very scary. I have since read many similar reviews.

My cat has had this before from the vets we picked up a new prescription and applied it to her as before 5 minutes later she was dead she was a healthy cat no problems only thing we did notice is the box was open unsealed have we a cause for complaint

Our elderly cat was still very active and was running across the garden and climbing fences before we administered the Stronghold treatment. The next morning she was a totally different cat, and for the next four days she wouldn't eat or drink, was listless and crawled into a dark corner to hide. We took her to the vets and found that her kidneys had been so traumatized that they were beyond repair and we had to have her put to sleep. After researching it afterwards we discovered that there is a lower dosage (15ml) which should have been prescribed as our cat was very underweight for the dosage we were given (45ml). In effect our cat was poisoned by this higher dose treatment and in our opinion the toxicity of this product should never be underestimated and you should think twice before administering it to an elderly cat.

Some of these companies online have BOOTLEGGED products. You can tell as soon as you open the tube. The real revolution has a strong smell....be very careful. You may read some good reviews but that means nothing they send out a good product to some and bootlegged to others. Be very careful

We put Stronghold (purple - Selamectin 30 mg) flea medication on our puppy for the first time a few days ago. It appears that she has had an allergic reaction and at this point we hope she will recover. She is licking herself, appears itchy and very irritated (can't settle and get comfortable). She has vomited a bit is not eating or drinking and is not herself in any way. We have been to the vet and they gave her some intravenous fluids. She was previously on Advantage flea medication with no reaction. However, it was not available when I ordered the current batch of flea medication, so I assumed Stronghold would be just as good. Now I am so worried about her. Wondering if anyone else has had a reaction like this? WE have since noticed the box also says "To be supplied only on veterinary prescription," which we did not have. We ordered it online and a prescription was not required.

I am very upset!

When I first purchased this product I could not fault it at all. It clear all the fleas on my cat

And kept them at bay. It really was a dream come true.

since buying it again from my vet, it has marked my cat! Leaving him with a ball spot!!

The first time I really wasn't sure it was the stronghold, I blamed my partner! I thought he may have drop a cigarette on him, but he assure me he didn't. I call an emergency vet the said to just wait until my vet was open. So I did, I took him in they gave me a treatment for dogs called isaderm and the hair grew back much much darker than ordinary hair, (he's a ragdoll X Siberian) they also said to me that this would be something more common in cheaper products like Bob martin. So it's been maybe two months, I re used the stronghold, as my cat goes out side a little bit I just wanted to make sure he doesn't get any fleas. Guess what!! He has another bald spot again. So I know it's definitely stronghold. This must be a bad batch but I have immediately put on the cream but I wanted to warn other people that this might happen to there cat. I am calling the vet in the morning.

Just to let people know. Try advantage in stead or herbal.

I also heard put garlic pills helps keep fleas away.

We've been longtime Revolution fans for our cats. And it has been very effective, sometimes only requiring treatment every 2 mos. We've been buying Stronghold for the last year and a half because of better pricing. This last batch is not doing the job at all! It's been 2 wks since the last application and all four cats are crawling with fleas. I cannot believe that the fleas have suddenly developed immunity. I suspect that something is not right with the last batch. That's it for us. We've switched to something else. Maybe it wasn't such a good deal after all.

Don't bother. I was sold this by our vet. Expensive and didn't work on my cat.

I went to my local pet shop and bought Johnsons 4Fleas tablets, which

were cheap and worked brilliantly.

I have used this product on 3 dogs and it is really good. My dogs run in fields and streams and are in contact where foxes roam . One got foxes mange prior to using stronghold - but since switching has not had any problems. Won't use anything else.

My small terrier mix has a severe reaction to flea bites. I had used Revolution on him previously a few years back and remembered that other brands didn't work for him so I ordered Stronghold aka Revolution. A day after application he vommited, had diarrhea and was lethargic. Thankfully that subsided, however, it's been 2 months since he was dosed and his skin is now flaking off in clumps!!! It's so bad and he is so miserable and itchy. I have spent nearly $200 in trying shampoo's and conditioners to help, with little results. He's itching more now than he was even with the fleas! His skin is literally peeling in patches in places, and the flaking is so bad on his back that he goes nuts if you pet his back. I do NOT recommend this at ALL. It didn't even work to rid the fleas. Two weeks after dosing the fleas were still on him. This is poison, do not use.
