I just wanted to know if anyone elses horses suffers with this or something similar and what they use to treat.
What it is - my horse suffers with excess flaky skin in his mane and on the back of his knees and occassionally on his back legs but not often.
it appears like dandruff but on the back of his knees the skin clumps together and i have to pull off what i can only describes as scabs of skin (very plesent i know)
i have shown my vet who suggested using basuka as it contains salicylic acid to act as a drying agent. then use pig oil to keep the skin soft and it also tends to crack and then bleed. ( which i was already using anyway as it keeps the mud off his feathers - which have now been kept short on the vets advice)
just wondered if anyone could help, if they use any type of herbal supplement that has helped. or if they know what it might be?
Thanks
