Do the products help with mud fever?

Mud fever, also known as scratches or pastern dermatitis, is an infection of the skin on the lower limbs. It often occurs when horses spend a long time standing in wet and muddy conditions. Look for scabs on the heels or lower legs, matted hair or patches of hair loss with raw skin underneath, and a creamy white, yellow, or green discharge between the skin and the scabs.

It is important to regularly groom, maintain a clean and dry environment, and to follow a good feeding routine to prevent mud fever.

Regularly using our Shampoo to gently cleanse the skin and fur will help prevent bacteria build-up. Depending on the severity, treatment involves keeping the affected areas clean and dry, applying medicated creams or ointments, and sometimes using oral or injectable antibiotics.
