No, don't use Revolution -- it fails a LOT here in Florida. Interceptor doesn't fail -- and all-around it's safer (and would have, in fact, treated the sarcops -- that's why I asked you to email me)
He could have caught sarcops from sniffing a dumpster or wildlife sarcops from coon droppings under a tree. In the poorer areas I have actually seen people throw puppies IN A DUMPSTER -- you can routinely hear them cry in there because someone didn't bother to get their dog speutered (but that also tells you a lot about the home itself).
Down here with the encroachment of civilization on all the wild areas, sarcops are becoming adept at crossing species lines. You will need to keep Interceptor on hand in case you need to dose him with it in between. LymeDip is also a good thing to keep on hand. It's always a good go-to if you suspect sarcops.
Typically in the hotter areas, my friends who volunteer at shelters don't just "change clothes" -- but rather change them several times. Keep shoes that ONLY walk into the shelter, and shoes that ONLY go to your car again to be zipped in plastic before you change shoes before you step in the door. Changing clothes multiple times is good -- stripping off at the door so you can BLEACH whatever you wore (even what you wore home -- because remember all those dogs probably walked IN the shelter so it's not just "in" the shelter you have to be cautious of).
