Hi guys, I have just bought a shetland yearling. She has an excessive amount of dandruff in her coat that I could do with getting rid off....any ideas? Also do you think this could be the result of sweetitch during this summer, I have no reason to think this other than large amounts of dandruff through the mane shoulder and wither area.
Any thoughts Suns
 
good old head and shoulders! get the conditioner to. give her a real good scrub if she'll let you then condition her too!

(I think Anymay probably meant scurf

- she's right though, oil should do the trick)

Thanks for the replies. The skin itself looks good, this is why I am wondering if the "scurf" is the result of an earlier bought of sweetitch (I have no experience of this). Can anyone help here. I have started putting some soya oil into her feed.
 
See what effect the oil has - you should notice a difference after a month. If you are still not happy you could then try something like Feedmarks D-Itch.

Is her skin scaly or looking rubbed anywhere???
 
My Shetland gets mild sweet itch and he has what look like big flakes of dandruff in his mane. Give it a wash with tea tree shampoo and she should be fine.
 
Thank you threeponies, I suspect that is what it is. Im a little reluctant to bath her at this time of year because she lives out, will just keep on brushing. Welshrarebit, Murthy is lovely.
