Mange Medicine

Sarcoptic mange makes a dog or horse miserable, and you want something that goes right on the affected skin. Happy Jack Mange Medicine is an EPA-registered sarcoptic mange treatment with 28% sulfur, worked into the skin in a soothing oil base.

The sulfur is carried in a base of linseed oil, pine tar oil, cod liver oil and lanolin that brings soothing relief to irritated skin. It has been on the market since 1946.

Why choose a cod liver oil and lanolin base

Lanolin is a wool-based fat that has been used for generations as a skin base, because it stays on dry, cracked skin longer than a thin lotion. Cod liver oil adds a rich, oily base that's easy to rub into a spot. A traditional base like this suits a dog or horse with a sore patch.

Pick it for the hound or the kennel dog with sarcoptic mange, or a horse your vet has diagnosed with it. It is a simple, direct treatment you work right into the affected skin.

How to use it

Shake it well, then apply it directly to the affected area.

1. Shake well before using.
2. For sarcoptic mange, apply once a day for several days. Wear rubber gloves and work it well into the skin with a slow, firm finger massage.
3. On areas that respond slowly, use twice a day until healed.
4. After applying, tie the dog up for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
5. For best results, disinfect the animal's environment, check the infection periodically and keep the animal on a sound nutritional program. If dermatitis persists, consult a veterinarian.
6. If stiff sediment is found, turn the bottle upside down overnight.

Clean the spot gently before you apply, and keep the surrounding coat out of the way so the treatment lands where it's needed.

Good to know

• Mange can spread between animals, so check the other dogs and horses in the household and the kennel.
• Keep it capped and out of the sun, and out of reach of children.
• For a deep wound, a spreading infection or a horse that's lame, call your veterinarian first. A topical treatment doesn't replace a diagnosis.
• Treat the same spot at the same time each day, so you can see how the skin is doing from one day to the next.
