Poor Minuette has it again this year, she always tends to get it where the others dont, so she has to stay in the sand school till it clears up. I have done all the usual things to get rid of it, but perhaps because she is old , it is taking a long time to heal. she hates the mud and dutifully excepts staying in.any one else having problems or am I the only one.?

Hi
One of mine had it quite bad and has just about cleared up.
I used Malaseb and it clears it in no time
The usual three who normally get it havent yet.
but the vets said its absolutly rife at the moment so your not alone |

Thanks I am a bit silly I never think to go into any other discussion room. I have some manuka Honey so I may try that tonight when she comes in from the sand school |

ive just about got rid of ours by putting a cream made of aqueous cream, liquid paraffin and tea tree oil and citricidal on liberally, covering with cling film and then a stable bandage and changing once every 24hours for three days.
all scabs now gone but he's still not going out for at least a week and even then he'll have cream and boots duct taped on! |

In the past I've found that adding Echinacea to the feed helps - it boosts the immune system - seems to help get rid of mud fever! Hilton Herbs are good http://www.hiltonherbs.com/
Also go with the Aqueous cream!!

My girl has a mild bout at the moment but things seem to be clearing up. I'm using udder cream or zinc and castor oil.
i'm so proud of my girl as when I got her she hated anyone or anything touching her back legs and now I can pick them up, rub vigorously with a towel and slather on cream, as well as removing her scabs. We have our first visit from the farrier this week too. A bit off subject but I'm so proud |

Poor Minnie, I hope she is out of the sand pen soon bless her, is she in there with baby?
Kuraishiya nearly always gets mud fever so I'm religiously following Barbara's regime for prevention with success thus far. Sadly early days though with regard to the dreaded mud season  .

Poor Minnie Lynda, hope she is back with the others soon. Mind you if I know Minnie she is probably quite enjoying all the attention and being in more especially in the cold damp weather.
Funny how this mud fever lark goes. A few years ago all ours had raging mud fever in the winter, now they all seem to get it in the late summer early autumn (heavy dew). We do however, religiously check them all, and yesterday they all had a thorough hose down, dry out and check and so far, fingers crossed, not one spot. Apart from one, all ours are still out as well. New stables go up tomorrow, so then they will all have warm beds, bet that is when we start getting mud fever!!!!!

freddies legs used to be a nightmare with mud fever, he'll get it on the front of his cannons, i tryed everything, spent £1000's of pounds and 6 years on suplerments,creams, gels, liquids, sprays, powders, shampoos but it would either comeback, itch him like crazy and all the hair would fall off, and he would make his legs so sore from scratching. it would be the whole cannon from top to bottomand 1/2 way round on the sides. you keep them in it clears up and gets better then you turn them back out, its a dreaded circle of frustation.
till last year i put brushing boots on, FANTASIC!!! cleared it up, kept the area clean and dry, they get washed once a week as i have two sets for him, and this year he hasnt had a single scab, hes happier im happier. |

| hi i have been using sportbac turnout boots designed for mudrash they have really worked and they arnt expensive like a lot of makes they retail at about 29.99 a pair.i found that depending where the mudrash is if its in contact with the sand it can make it worse as the sand agravates the sores hope this helps lehla |
