My horse came in yesterday with what I thought was mud fever, however a friend has suggested it looks more like mites. I am going to get the vet out, but know for a fact that the practice is completely snowed in at the moment! Anyway, her legs are basically going bald on the fetlocks, on the inside of the leg if that makes sense, and she does seem itchy and stampy, and irritable. There is some scabbing but the hair is just falling out with the scabs. I have scrubbed with hibiscrub and kept her in. I have so far read about ivermectin wormer, dectomax, frontline and neem oil as treatments, but some of the threads were a good few years old so it would be good to know what is current!
