MANAGING MUDFEVER

Mud Fever occurs during the wet winter months and is essentially a form of dermatitis which affects the skin on the heel, fetlock and pastern. All horses can be affected, but particularly those with long hair around the fetlock. Back legs are more prone to mud fever than front.

Inflammation of the skin and underlying tissues leads to the skin swelling, stretching and weeping; cracks appear, hair falls out and hard scabs form. Horses exposed to a muddy environment or which are kept in a wet, dirty or constantly muddy field are liable to Mud Fever.

Here are some tips on managing mud fever.

> Keep horses prone to this condition out of the rain and away from mud as much as possible. In severe cases consult your vet.

> Dry the legs thoroughly before stabling keep really clean, brushing out mud, and check daily for skin changes and redness.

> Keep beds clean and dry for stabled horses.

> Try to keep turning your horses out even though it creates more work having to clean legs. However, overnight stabling gives the legs a chance to dry off and the opportunity for you to manage the condition – see our Mud Fever Aid Kit in the homeopathic section.

> Clip away any excess feathering but try to avoid clipping the legs – the hair can protect the skin and legs.

> Remove scabs carefully if you can with a suitable gentle equine shampoo. In extreme cases surgical hibiscrub may be better; but removing scabs too soon just creates open lesions which get re-infected. Scabs go black when they are ready to fall off.
