Ringworm ARG!!!!!!!!!!!

[Caritas]

My horse has had ringworm for about the last 6 weeks, god knows where he got it from. It is right in his saddle area and where his girth goes. Some parts are still thick and scabby, how long will it take for them to go or at least enough for me to be able to ride without it rubbing? Many thanks!!

Get some Malaseb shampoo from the vets, clears both ringworm and the bacteria that causes rainscald.

just got back in from having vet, and guess what my mare as got ringworm, i have got no idea where she got it from as not even been off yard in ages, vet gave and i really mean gave me some IMAVEROL, hope it works

Make sure you wipe the ringworm with Immaverol but also do about 2 inches around each spot getting down to the skin, as it spreads quickly. Also disinfect the stable, brushes, rugs (if necessary). Anything the horse has been in contact with. It is a Bl***y pain!

Immaverol works well.

my mare only as one spot, and as had that for nearly a week with no signs of any more, the other horses that are turned out with her are also ok.

I bought a horse a few years back who had it on her face. Got Imaverol from the vets - brilliant stuff.

the feed supplement is great too, clears it up really quick. weve used both that and imavarol in the past. cant remember its name but the vet will know! also means they arent contagious as long
