Lice!

[UKa]

Had my elderly mare with Cushings clipped today and found she has lice. There are lots of eggs either side of the ears should I scrape those off? Just ordered some Dermoline shampoo to treat lice...

I have found that deosect is the best and easiest way of getting rid of the little blighters

Don't forget to wash all rugs, clean tack and brushes. Rugs, brushes and saddle pads etc can be washed in the same shampoo as you use for the horse.

You can scrape the eggs off it you want to -and she'll let you. But it doesn't make a difference overall.

Oh yes thanks... Rugs are tricky now that she is clipped I need them 😐 But guess there is no way round it...

Another vote for Deosect

My vet says not to worry with rugs the lice cannot survive without a host

I would just put coopers spot on, on her and you shouldn't need to worry about anything else.
