Can revolution cause dry skin?

[hamsterdance]

Hello, I noticed my rabbits have some dry/flaky skin only in one small area on both of their heads, the same place about the size of a penny in the exact spot where I apply their revolution each month.
Could the dryness be caused by the revolution? Thanks!

yup.

Yup?
Do you have any experience with this or have you heard of it happening in the past?
Not trying to be rude but I'm low on money at the moment and hoping to get a genuine answer to indicate if a vet visit is necessary...

Yes it happens.
Revolution has alcohol in it, alcohol drys the skin.
One of the most common side effects of using revolution is dry skin near the site. As well as some animals can experience minor temporary hair loss at the site.
It even mentions it in the information paper that is dispensed with the drug that it is a commonly observed side effects in dogs/cats.
Still a totally safe drug.
