So, we have been clear for two years now, after a particularly bad episode three years ago which cost nearly £900 in vets fees (don't ask). I have been managing the situation by brushing my mare's legs every morning and all has been ok, but this hideously wet winter has finally got the better of us and she now has a couple of patchs on her pasterns. The trouble is, she is such a sensitive cow little love that she will NOT LET ME NEAR ANYTHING PAINFUL. I have been using H-10 but it was getting claggy so this moring I have washed her lower legs with warm water and hibiscrub and left her in. There are some small scabs still there.
I always believe that the scabs have to come off, but my yard owner berates me frequently for picking! So, do you pick or leave to dry up?
Also, what are you best recommendations for treating mud rash?
(Please don't mention pig oil and sulphur - I have a 5 litre container purchased a couple of years ago in great excitement and it somehow managed to spread her mud rash everywhere).
Anyone else tried H-10? Is it just sudacrem repackaged for the horsey market (and price inflated)
