Case 12
Your plan for Wyatt at this time is to treat empirically for sarcoptic mange and use response to therapy as a diagnostic tool. The most common treatment options include oral ivermectin (extralabel use) and topical products such as imidacloprid-moxidectin (extralabel use) or selamectin. You also recommend concurrently ruling out food allergy dermatitis with a hypoallergenic diet trial, but because the owners have a new baby and less time to devote to the monitoring required for this option, they choose to wait on this diagnostic step.
QUESTION 7

a) Ivermectin is photolabile and should be protected from light.
