Wondered if anyone else had a similar problem and could offer advice.
My youngster started getting very greasey back legs about a month ago, from the canon bone up to his stifle with particular issues on the front of his hocks. The grease has caused scabbing.
It did get infected and he got cellulitus, this was treated (he's now on another course of antibiotics) and whilst the infection has cleared the grease production hasn't.
He's fed chaff, a little bit of sugarbeet and a youngstock supplement.
He's been washed in Malaseb once - this seemed to lessen the scabbing for a few days but then it's flared up again.
The vet has no idea what is causing it.
So far we haven't used any creams, etc as we're thinking that would worsen the condition.
Any one have any suggestions - would be greatly appreciated???
