Re: [RC] Crusty, scabby, thingies - Elizabeth Walker

Very good point Donna.  There was something I was trying to remember, and this was it.  It is why I said that the stuff on the back legs might be a completely different issue than what is going on with the front pasterns.

Do you have clover in your pasture?  White clover sometimes causes skin, especially white skin to be super sensitive to the sun which will cause scabby sores on the legs and sometimes on white noses.  I scrub affected legs with a betadine solution mixed with water, trying to loosen the scabs, then treat with nitrofurazone ointment.  I had one mare with four stocking legs that had the issue frequently.
