Having trouble with any of these?
Have you tried using Nizeral yet?
It is a human anti dandruff shampoo that contains Ketaconisol - you will need to buy it from the chemist and not mention that it is for your horse. UK chemists seem very funny about us using it on our horses! In NZ we have free access to it from the chemist.
Dilute 1:10, shampoo to Hot water.
Lather up well using a face cloth, make sure that you wash the area beyond the current patches. The shampoo seems to melt the scabs and they come off really easily without making the skin bleed. There is no need to rinse out. Repeat daily till all scabs have gone.
I would love some photos of before and after and the time it took. Maybe a photo diary.
I have been using this very successfully for several years now on a large number of horses, I work in the racing industry here.
Nizeral works just as well on greasy heel and rain scald - I use it on my foals, and don't rinse out.
In addition feeding a supplement containing copper and zinc is a great preventative.
This is a recipe that we have in NZ and Australia - known as the Pat Coleby Mix
Mix together
500 grams Dolomite
80 grams Copper Sulphate
80 grams of milling Sulphur
80 grams of Seaweed Meal (Urea free)
Feed 1 level Tablespoon daily
