Hi everyone
Has anyone got any advice.....my horse has developed mud fever (yes I know its summer!!!) and I have tried to soften the scabs so I can remove them but he just won't let me near his leg. The minute I try he spins round (he is tied up), tries to trapple me and goes into a panic. Other people have tried and get the same response. They are obviously very sore for him but he just wont let me treat them and I am now at a loss. I even tried sedalin to sedate him the other day.....when the suggested 3ml's didn't work he was given some more....eventually after a whole syringe full he still wasn't sedated just more upset by the whole ordeal. I have also tried feed and mints but still no success!!
Any suggestions?
Anna and a very sore Alby!!!
