Itching all over?

[charli_]

Have come home on here only to find that I've forgotten my password for my account and have ended up making a new one since the forgot password link doesn't work.

Anyway, going down to check on my two boys I have discovered Wellie has started destroying fences trying to itch his legs and back thighs


He has sweet itch treated by Carr day and Martin Killitch but that's on his mane and tail? The only new thing is some garlic mix I have been feeding him to help with the flies. Was recommended by my local tack shop who have used it on their horses and its helped. Has anyone used this garlic stuff before? I need to stop this itching, the fences can hardly take anymore


Has anyone got any advice as to what would help?

Stop the garlic, it boosts the immune system and what you want with sweetitch is to suppress it.
I found this out the hard way with my boy, after someone told me last year, and his itching did ease off a bit once the garlic was out of his system.
Good luck with your horse.

Thank you, will definitely not put garlic in his feed tonight. Hope it helps!
