Happy Jack 1711 Sarcoptic Mange Medicine 16oz

After agreeing with a family member to care for their two Yorkies for a month while they’re on vacay, I found out the doggos have sarcoptic mange. One dog’s skin was inflamed red and balding and the other had enlarged lymph nodes and an open sore on their back. Both exhibited black darkened patches of skin. After 1 week of using this topical ointment (used every other day applied with thick latex kitchen gloves), the itching has gone down, their hair is growing back and the sore is slowly healing over. The routine that’s working is: shampoo with veterinary formula antiparisitic & antiborrheic shampoo for 15 mins and washed off, mixture of 3 tbsp borax diluted with 2C benzoyl peroxide and hot water in a spray bottle to evenly coat fur (careful to not spray head/face) and left on to air dry for 30 mins, dry rest of the way with blow dryer, and ointment put and left on until next bath. This ointment is staining and has a sulfuric smell; I suggest it applied to your gloved hands and then to their fur in addition to crating the dogs during the duration of the treatment with pee pads. Ensure the area in which they’re kept is well ventilated, I had an air purifier on max during application and at a low setting all other times. Good value for the money and does what it says.

Had first treatment today! Praying it works! Next stop is the Rainbow Bridge. 😢 The most difficult part of using this is getting the dog to cooperate so you can get it rubbed in to their skin. I was dreading the smell from all of the reviews I’ve read. However, it just smells like I’ve doused my dog in petroleum. Of course that isn’t pleasant but it’s not a stinky sulfur smell like I thought it was going to be.

I got this to help my dog that’s had some spot that he’s been constantly itching. I’ve tried everything other creams, sprays, bath soaps and vitamins. This has been the only ointment that has helped. I put it on my dog every other day before bed and within a few days he’s been itching less and finally stopped. The product is easy to use just use gloves. It has a strong smell but it’s not bad, reminds me of essential oils. Overall I’m very happy I came across this product and will definitely be buying it in the future. Pros Great quality Easy to put on No safety concerns with the dog licking it Helped my dogs skin issue tremendously Cons Smell can be strong but a essential oil smell not bad

I use this as recommended for a doggy dip including other ingredients. I live in California so we have a different recipe, the original was not able to send to me. Using this, dawn dish soap, a little bleach, as well as a couple more ingredients with a LOT OF WATER and a flea collar- really helped. I would love to be sponsored by this brand because the bottle barely lasted 3 months and with this economy it is fairly expensive. But once I rob a bank when the internet shuts down- I’d completely fill my house with these bottles. Maybe pour some along the way to keep the environment flea and tic free (jokes- but please feel free to come after me Feds and cancel culture I’m bored)

We have tried so many things for our poor girl, she got mange badly and quickly, we used a few things that would clear it up for a short time and then it was right back. We used the Happy Jack spray, but she would struggle and run off before we could get a decent coat. This did the trick, she hates being wet, but since we are rubbing this into her fur with gloves she didn't really notice the wetness and more the attention and everything completely cleared up within about 2 weeks. Only thing is the smell, oh that smell I hope to never have to smell it again.
