Mud Fever Advice
We have seen a number of mud fever cases this winter season and know it can be challenging to deal with. So here's our top tips..... 

• Keep legs as dry as possible.  Hosing them off can actually be detrimental to skin health, allowing the mud to dry and brushing off is much better.
• If you have to wash their legs off make sure you towel dry (patting rather than vigorous rubbing) to ensure they aren't left damp.
• Clipping any excess hair away from the mud fever lesions can be helpful 
• Soak away any scabs gently with dilute hibi scrub. If they won't budge soaking the scabs with vaseline & covering the leg with cling film for a few hours can help to soften the scabs.
• Apply George Equine Vets Mud Fever Cream directly to the skin once the scabs have been removed.
•  Always treat rapidly as it can lead to painful conditions such as cellulitis.
• See our website "Common Equine Skin Conditions" factsheet
