Mud Fever & Cracks

What is Mud Fever in Horses?

Skin conditions in horses can quickly cause discomfort and affect their overall well-being. If left untreated, these issues may worsen, leading to itching, irritation, swelling, allergic reactions, and more serious complications. Among these skin problems, mud fever is one of the most common and requires special attention.

Symptoms and Causes of Mud Fever in Horses ?

Mud fever is caused by a combination of factors, including persistent moisture and prolonged exposure to muddy environments. It appears as redness, dry skin, and eruptions, especially in the folds of the horse’s limbs. Affected areas often show lesions and painful irritation, causing significant discomfort to the animal.

Consequences and Solutions ?

Without proper care, horses may develop scratching wounds, sometimes leading to secondary infections. While mud fever is not contagious, it requires prompt and appropriate treatment. Regular care and the use of natural, specifically formulated products can relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence. La Boutique de l’Arbalou offers a full range of restorative care, sprays, gels, ointments, and natural supplements to help horse and pony owners manage mud fever.
