Question
So, I already told you about my bunny Buttercup who has been having mites on her back. You perscribed Revolution and it worked exept for now, she has mites on her ears. So, do i put the Revolution directly on both of her ears or, do i put it at the base of her neck and it will go to her ears as well?

Answer
Dear Leah,

If you gave her the Revolution more than 4 weeks ago, it's safe to give it again.  It should remain effective for at least that long.  (I didn't prescribe it.  I can't do that, since I'm not a vet.  But I did recommend it.)  ;)

If you put the solution on the usual spot at the base of her neck, it will travel all over her body via the oil glands.  No need to put it on her ears, and in fact she'd be more likely to lick it off if you put it there.  Stick to the neck, and you'll be good.

Hope that helps.
