Is the animal in question by any chance black? If so, black animals attract flies more than other colors and we have had the under the forearms, belly, and ears and nose flybitten to where it looked like mange. I would do at least one skin biospy, determine the cause and it will save you on treatment costs. Otherwise, you could just try the non-mange treatment first because it won't dry out the skin or try both at the same time. After trying several things the vet recommended that didn't work and giving up and giving the skin a "rest", all we used in the end was TriCare ointment by Farnam (most horse stores carry it) and the hair grew back in just a few weeks.
