Graphites - anyone used (on horse!)

[RunRunReindeer]

Hi there, my cob has an ongoing dermatitis of his pasterns - doesn't get worse but never seems to completely clear up - and I've recently read about the homoepathic remedy Graphites which could be helpful. Would be glad to hear from anyone who's tried it on their horse - eg. tablets or cream? If tabs do you add to feed? What potency & how many tabs (he's about 400kg), over how long a period? etc etc. Many thanks for any advice.

Hiya, yes I've tried graphites cream, and also the tablets, 30c four times a day, reducing gradually, eight pillules at a time, for a horse with dermatitis, and it worked quite well. But the best thing I've found is pig oil (with sulphur in winter), just used every week on the area, works a treat.
