Hello. We do need to know if Jack has mange & what kind of mange it is. Is it sarcoptic or demodex mange? Once you know this, then the injectable ivermectin can be administered orally for treatment. Please work with your veterinarian to make sure you are treating the right condition with the right medication. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
