Thank you. I've actually never seen him with any scabs on his legs or tummy, he tends to get them on his neck and withers and Is definitely not going to be accepting of those areas but I'll give the tags a go as they sound like a good idea. I spray his rug at the moment and he does have marmite...

I have had my pony for a few years now and I'm running out of things to try. We are in a windy area with very little water, he's in a paddock where he can't itch on fences. He has garlic treats and a fly rug. But his sweet itch is still awful. He was abused very heavily before I got him, he...

Hi, I know it's a long shot but does anyone have absolutely any information on the Dutch Warmblood investigation that took place around 1999 and 2000? We're any conclusions reached? I'm talking about the one in which lame horses were being shipped from Holland for meat but then bought and sold...

Thank you. I'll definitel give it a go. I'm sure he's itching, he's very violent with it and itches roughly. He also doesn't lean on anything in the field. I'll try him on bute and then get a vet if it doesn't help. Thank you

No, he's in a field with two other horses. He's very close to both of them and gets very stressed if they leave. He paces and snorts and shows that he's obviously stressed. This is very different. He's relaxed and calm, just focussed on the circles. It's odd but it could just be to do with the...

Thank you. I'll make sure to keep him in for longer and to give him hay. My first instinct was to feel his feet and they're not warm at all. I've had a pony with laminitis before so I know what the heat feels like. But maybe this could be a sign that he might get it? He also walks in continuous...

My pony has severe sweet itch and usually, when we bring him into the stable, he itches like crazy on the walls. We have recently changed his bedding to shavings and since then he has stopped itching on the walls of his stable all together and instead spends his time digging a shallow hole in...

Hello. I have had my pony Sparky for two years now and he suffers with terrible sweet itch. Unfortunately, Sparky was a rescue pony and was previously mistreated. Although he has come to trust me with most things, he is still nervous with regard to creams and sprays. Does anybody know of any...
