Sometimes these horses get a
condition called midline dermatitis. While steriods provide comfort, you
must worm the horse with ivermectrin to cure the condition. We, b/c of all
the wet weather, are seeing a preponderance of rainrot, dew poisoning, and
intensely itchy skin. Turnout in the morning isn't comfy b/c of heat but
night time is dangerous b/c of mosquito populations. Looking forward to
autumn.
Oh, I found that flax seed did
give some relief to the itchy skin horses.
