greasy heel

[kazs]

does anyone know how to treat greasy heel, i have a shire x i have already chopped all his lovely feathers off last year, i frontline him about every 6 weeks and shampoo his legs in antibacterial shampoo about every 4 weeks, use pig oil but cant seem to get get rid of the scabs from the greasy heel, any ideas.
thanks in advance

Well I'm not sure if it's similar to my cob's legs (he has scabs mostly on the backs of his knees and tight skin around his heels). However I've found that Camrosa works really well for him
