My dog is taking revolution to prevent flea eggs from hatching, are there side effects? He seems to get very tired and a little sick. Thanks Lee
The breed I raise is super sensitive to most chemicals, but have shown no side effects from using Revolution..I haven't heard of any problems before..Perhaps he needs a smaller dose?

Bitsy the guinea pig receives a current application of Revolution (Selamection) to treat mites. There's More To This Feature: happycavy.com
Selamectin is best known as the active ingredient found in the medication known as Revolution®. Selamectin is applied topically onto the skin, usually between the shoulder blades of the dog or cat, and has a number of different indications for usage.
Revolution® is formulated with selamectin dosages appropriate for either dogs or cats and available as either Canine Revolution® or Feline Revolution® , in various sizes depending on body weight.
Selamectin kills parasites infecting dogs and cats by stimulating the release of GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) and consequently inhibiting neurotransmission and blocking the stimulation of neurons to cause paralysis.
Selamectin (Revolution®) as a Canine and Feline Heartworm Preventive MedicineOne of the prime indications for using selamectin, or Revolution®, is as a heartworm preventive medicine for both dogs and cats. When used to prevent heartworms, selamectin needs to be applied monthly.
Selamectin is not effective where adult heartworms are present and is not effective in killing microfilaria (larval heartworms) circulating in the blood stream of dogs and cats infected with heartworms.
Selamectin as a Flea Control Medicine for Dogs and CatsAnother primary indication for using selamectin is as a flea control medicine for both dogs and cats. As with any flea control product, selamectin is most effective when used as a preventive measure before the dog or cat becomes infested with fleas. However, selamectin will treat an existing flea infestation also. Selamectin should be used monthly for the most effective flea control.
Using Selamectin for Ear Mite TreatmentSelamectin also kills ear mites and is therefore an effective ear mite treatment for dogs and cats. One application is often effective in treating ear mites in infected dogs and cats. However, a second dose of selamectin can be applied after one month for stubborn infections.
