What to do if my cat has a raw spot from Revolution flea treatment?

Question

We treated our cat with Revolution flea treatment yesterday. Now Georgia has a raw spot where we applied the medication. What do we need to do for her? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 11 months and 24 days old | 11 lbs

Oh poor girl. It looks like she has a hypersensitivity to the Revolution. This isn't very common, but it can happen on occasion in some pets. I would recommend washing as much of the product off as possible with a Betadine solution diluted 50:50 with warm water. Then you can apply a "hot spot" spray ok to use in cats, from your local pet store to the area until it is healed. If it is having a hard time healing properly, then it is best to have your vet look at it and prescribe stronger medication for Georgia. I hope this clears up soon and for next go round, I would recommend trying another product such as Advantage Multi for cats.
