I know there are millions of threads on sweet itch, but cannot find anything with simple instructions on what to feed!
I manage with a snuggy hoods sweet itch rug/regular baths/clipping and hogging/fly repellent/nettex itch stop salve/coconut oil/avon skin so soft. Horse has also had injection this year, but doesn't seem to be making that much difference - he is a severe case.
Now I want to concentrate on his diet, see if that helps too. He is always fed brewers yeast and micronised linseed. He is a very laid back boy in the summer and takes a lot to get him going. I have heard low sugar/starch for sweet itch sufferes, but can anyone give me simple instructions on exactly what I should be feeding him (so as to not aggravate sweet itch AND to give him that bit of sparkle and energy that he needs)?
Sorry for double post, but wanted plenty of people to see it and wasn't sure on the best place.
Homemade chocolate brownies in return for the help!!
