My mare rubbed all her maneover night. I've had her 6 mnth and never had any problems. I've been treating with a paste I bought for wounds.
Ive just had a gander at neck thread worm and I'm shocked, from what I gather it's caused by midge and black fly bites. Treated by ivermectin? I've got dectomax injectable now I'm wondering if that kills these? ThanksI can't see where anyone suggested ringworm, I see neck thread worm was suggested which isn't the same thing. Hopefully she'd just touched something and that will be the end of it for you
Dectomax is a mectin anti parasitic so it should work, remember if it is NTW the horse will get itchier for 2 or 3 days post treatment as they die off.Ive just had a gander at neck thread worm and I'm shocked, from what I gather it's caused by midge and black fly bites.

Hi she had scratches on her nose belly chest and neck.It couldn't be that your other horse is mutually grooming and pulling it out. This is what's happened with my two. Half way up the neck.
