Putting Ivermectin on coco is the treatment for skin mites. If Coco does not have skin mites than the ivermectin is not needed. typically if placed high enough on the back Coco will not really be able to ingest it. I would be more concerned about behavioral issues causing over plucking. I would make sure Coco has enough toys, mirrors and is located in a low traffic area to help decrease in stress. I hope that helps
