I have a huge pot (200g) of dermobion the wonderful green stuff. I bought it in Dubai last month when my horse had mud fever but never needed it. Let me know if you need it.. tel: 07557507317

Careful. I bought some over t'internet and got a stroppy letter from the VMD threatening me with importing illegal products! My lawyer wrote back and I never heard another thing but it scared me something chronic
 
Oh no - I didn't buy it on the internet. bought it when I was in Dubai. It's a huge pot so would be great for someone that has lots of hoses.
 
It's illegal to import. You should have been stopped at customs. Why on earth are you getting rid? It lasts for years and is worth its weight in gold. Nothing works like it on mud fever and wounds. We old timers really miss the stuff!

No, I don't think so. It was not licenced for use in horses and another cream came on the market that was, and EU (?) rules say that has to be prescribed instead.

It was because of the risk of carcinogenesis.....due to the Nitrofurazone it contains......but I think they had to feed rats large amounts of nitrofurazone to induce cancer.....so it was more of a possible than probable risk.

My vet got that wrong then! What a shame, it was so effective. I have just read that the company in Australia that was making it has discontinued it, so no hope of ever getting any more :(
 
my vet said`we can`t get anything any good anymore`!

although i have bought stuff abroad in the eu no problem in the british isles not available

and must say a good dollop of something that actually works must be a lot less toxic than using a useless thing that takes ages and still does not clear up the problem completely.

Then that would be its ONLY positive feature! Haha. Oh the wonderful green greasy miracle worker. It was the only thing that kept my mare's mud fever in check until I spent about two flippin' grand ( in the 70's!) on getting Newmarket Equine to make some specific mouse serum which cured her forever - it fact I think it did such a good job - her feet went around sterilising the paddocks!

Apparantly Dermobion didn't have the necessary certification as vetineriary medicine and the manufacturer's didn't want to pay for it so it was discontinued.
