Hi, can anyone help here. My mare suffered badly from mudrash a couple of months ago. I managed to get ontop of it but the other day I was brishing her and a few bits of hair came off leaving 2 little bald patches. There is a little lump under each patch which seem to be uncomfortable to touch. There are no scabs at the moment. Ive been keeping her in most of the time and applying her mudrash spary just to make sure it stays away. Today I ran my hands down her legs and on the sides and front of her very lower legs, there are a number of small bumps under the coat. I couldnt feel any scabs, just bumps. Does anyone know what this could be?
 
I think you'll find they are developing scabs. If you try washing them with some diluted betedine or suchlike, they will soften and you will find they will come off with the patch of hair. If it is bad, there will be red raw skin underneath. Carry on then keeping them dry and i found udder cream healed the scabs very well and moisturised the skin.
 
Hi, thanks for your reply however these bumps don't feel like something that will soften with washing with solution, they are not scabby at all and just feel like lumps under the skin, my mare has hardly been out in the wet / mud recently so would be strange if it was mudrash, I think I'll try some pig oil with sulphur the next time she goes out and see if that helps any, mudrash is so frustrating
