RE: [RC] Pigeon Fever What is it? - Susan E. Garlinghouse



Would regular sheath cleaning help to prevent this (pigeon fever)?  If so, 
can you recommend which products to use?


I doubt if it would really help that much with keeping flies away---if the
flies are that attracted to a dirty sheath, probably needs to be done on
general principles.

I think the most useful prevention habits are still just those that control
flies---picking up and removing manure, using fly spray, fly sheets,
whatever.  If you do have a horse that develops an abscess, flush that baby
out and be very careful about keeping the flushed crud away from where flies
can get to it and transfer it to other horses.

Susan Garlinghouse, DVM
