I am not sure if you recall my post on my mare who foaled but had no milk?
Well the little one is now nearly two months old;with expert help from the stud and vet, the mare's milk finally came through around ten days later.The foal was tiny,skinny and had to be bottle fed for the first two weeks;this resulted in a over familiar and somewhat obnoxious little fellow!
As he was now feeding from his mother we left him to his own devices,I brought him home and threw both out in a lush field.We have been having a very muggy, hot or alternative wet summer, this has brought swarms of horse flies which are driving both the foal and its mother mad.So I caved in, and now bring both in during the day.
Although"Misery" has improved in looks enormously and has grown heaps,he has now contracted ring worm!Owing to his previous behaviour we have been keeping him at a distance,I am able to touch him just about all over, but washing him down with'Imaverol' has been difficult and the poor fellow is getting very weary of me.
He has quite a few patches and I have put the product on three times, what are his chances of growing white hair on the round circles???
None of the other horses have contracted the dreaded circles, but I have had another foal born last week and they will have to share the same field, help what should I do?I
really dont want every one down with ringworm!
I would love to post pics but I am still trying to find my way around it; I wish H&H would make it a little easier!
Thanks for reading this far!
