Chloe's mud fever is with us all year round - sometimes it nearly goes and then flares up. Anyway, recently, I have been using Carr Day & Martin Wound Cream - and I have to say its worked wonders. Another thing that's helped is getting the scabs off with a towel. Rather than brushing them off or pulling them off when softened, I used a rough hand towel. She didn't mind at all and I think at times she enjoyed it rubbing her heels - maybe it relieved some of the itching? It worked a treat at getting them off - it was full of them by the time I had finished. But, what a good result! So I am keeping up the momentum with the cream and this morning after her rubbing down applied it before turnout. Just thought I would share because I know there are lots of different methods for treating it. This just seems to make life easier.
