Recomends for cream for mud fever treatment/prevention?

[m3gan]

What do you peeps use for keeping mud fever at bay and if you do have it what do you find works best?
Thanks for your help!

 

[Gucci_b]

for me, hibiscrub and wash all horse boots regular for prevention

 

[Boxers]

Camrosa

 

[carthorse]

I am a fan of keritex powder and sportabac boots [which have to be washed and dried each day

 

[frazzled]

Wash legs with hibiscrub ,dry and then sudocrem.

 

[dsophiea]

my local riding school swear by sulphur and lard, not quite sure how to get hold of the sulphur though.

 

[harleyandcopper]

Sudocrem. Add Naf Mud Gard to the feed daily, i swear by it.

 

[Blue-bear]

A combination of lotions and potions! but would also swear by the sportbac boots, particularly if your fields get really muddy.
Sudocream is always a favourite or udder cream.
Also found it useful to get the 'leg wraps/warmers' for the stables as it keeps there legs warm and dry especially if you dont have masses of time to ensure they are really dry

 

[TicTac]

wash and dry legs thoroughly and then apply sudocream. Brilliant stuff!

robinsons leg guard it's great.

 

[ynneb]

Keratex mud shield powder for prevention.

 

[nuffield]

eliminate alflafa from the diet. i've found this works. you will need to read labels if you feed compound feeds

 

[amzy]

fungatrol cream by Equine America is good for getting rid of it (and it smells lovely).

I was always told that washing the mud off is one of the worst things you can do.

Allowing the mud to dry and brushing off was what I've been recommended.

Then apply a waterproof barrier such as sudocrem or petroleum jelly with clean turnout boots on.

I used to keep my mare in in the worst of it, only because she always insisted in standing in the worst of the mud in her field.

 

[Syrah]

Forgot to add, there is another forum that swears by a pig oil and sulphur mix for treatment

Why is alfalfa a problem?

 

[sallyg84]

An irish company called Foran have a product called M.R.S cream, was used on the TB stud I used to work with, after about 3 or 4 winters the mares built up resistance but it was fantastic, great barrier and also great for actually clearing up scabs and sore areas.

Much appreciated advice from you all .

Why is Alfalfa bad for this problem?

Also Sallyg84 thank you for the recommend MRS cream looked at the link but couldn't find out how much it was and how you can buy it.

Sadly I can't use Sportbac boots as my boy lives out 24/7.

Muddy Marvel by NAF to clear up mud fever once they get it. I'm def going to try their Mud guard this winter.

 

[custard]

Keratex powder before it starts applied daily to dry legs

 

[jhoward]

Athelets foot powder, my stallion has had it bad on all four heels over the past week, on one foot it was very bad, its cleared it up in days, i always apply it when hes kept in, to allow it work, then if hes going back out use sudo cream as a barrier.
