Hello. Does Marshall have mange? That is what we would use Neomec for ( ivermectin ). The only thing I could find out about Ultrahypo is this is a dog food for dogs with sensitive stomachs. So, my concerns are if your vet is just guessing what might be bothering Marshall's skin, or have actually mange mites & food sensitivities been diagnosed. If this is a mange mite, it can take several weeks for the mites to completely die. If this is a true allergy response, then he needs to be on a proper medication for allergies. You may need to revisit this with your veterinarian. Good luck & thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
