Mochi started having flaky dandruff skin since about a month and a half ago. it started out as tiny flakes which I thought was just dry skin from the weather change, but then it got progressively larger over the weeks and then I noticed bald spots near her back and behind area. So today we took her to the vet and she said that it was fur mites. She gave us 3 Revolution capsules to use, each 3 weeks apart. How fast does the medication work? It has been a few hours and I still see her scratching her back.
I also have a few questions regarding preventing another fur mite infection and cleaning her areas. We keep the apartment fairly clean, vacuum regularly, and change her litterbox once a day. She has free range of the entire apartment but she does have this couch that she likes to hide and sleep underneath. Is there a product/chemical I should buy to clean the carpet and couch with (other than vacuuming)?? I read online that they said its bad to steam clean the carpet because it makes the environment damp and doesn't kill the mites. Please advise! Thanks..
