bleeding from the flies today !

[JLD]

My poor boy is being assaulted from all directions! He has a nasty corneal ulcer which he is not enjoying his eye drops for. And today he had blood speckled down his back legs from horse fly bites round his sheath ! Combine this with a full winter cob coat in 20' and he is not a totally happy boy. Bless him. Dug out the fly gel and deosect today. I on the other hand have poo picked in a t shirt while pushing a barrow across rather than through the field. Bliss.

Mine were being bitten around the sheath even after spraying their tummies so i got the neem oil out and wiped it around their willies, their tails didnt move again. Happiness

Yes had a few lovely days but back to thermals today. Noticed my mare had a few fly bites yesterday that were a bit bleedy. Sorry to hear your horse has a ulcer. Have owned a horse in the past that had a bad corneal ulcer which he was on boxrest for months. So the sun couldnt damage his eye. Hope the ulcer heals quickly for you unlike in my case.
