“Scratches” “Mud Fever” “Greasy Heel”
-
All of these dermatologic conditions involve the lower limbs and can be tricky to heal- especially since many are caused by the environment ( stabling and/or turnout) the horse lives in! While most cases can be cleared by applying oil and massaging into the skin every couple days, occasional cases need different approaches. – They do not have to be completely dry to apply the oil. Wash every couple days and reapply oil until scabs fall off and new hair growth is apparent. If legs are very inflamed or are predominantly white which are more prone to sun sensitivity, H3 Super Cream formula is preferred. H3 Super Cream contains H3Oil, (and therefore the same healing, antibacterial, anti fungal and anti inflammatory)properties), but also has added Zinc and shea butter to create protection from the sun in a thick moisturizing formula that will stay on the legs (and muzzles) for days even in wet grass and mud. It’s like putting a waterproof turnout on the legs!
