I have a little mare with me for 17 years severe sweet itch pluss anything that stings or bites are really a problem to her and has induced colic on many occasion. Tried everything over the years that you could think of. She has the boett rugs I have tried others but they dont perform as well. She is on pirition all through the summer and sudacrem and washing with tea tree shampoo. Although these help the condition over the years has got worse. She constantly bites at her udder and will rub on anything she can find. Last resort was going to be steroids but neither I or my vet were keen to follow that path. 8 weeks ago I put her on calvelese at about 6 weeks there was a marked improvement 8 weeks in she is no longer biting her udder is much calmer and is not so bothered with flies etc. Her cheeks that were sore from rubbing have heeled and she is not constantly looking for something she can get to to scratch on. It may not work for you horses for courses as they say but def worth a try.Hi again have a mare who I've just brought has bad sweet itch! I've ordered some switch how have you all got on with this?
