My in foal mare has had a bad case of MF. Despite my best efforts with various stuff, i had to call the vet. Powder antibiotics and a tiny tube of cream, gone in a day and a half as it is over a large area on both fronts and two smaller patches on her hind fetlocks. I'm at the stage now where i don't know what to try next. I have got the scabs softened and mostly lifted and nice pink skin underneath but they keep going crusty again and i'm back to square one. I wash with hibiscrub, dry then apply uddercream to keep them supple but it keeps drying out and going hard again. Mare has never had it before, it came on during that nice dry spell in September, so no muddy areas and she is in at night. She wintered out all last winter and not a speck of it then, could she be more prone to it being in foal. What can anyone suggest for the skin once the scabs are off to aid healing?
