You will know if your horse has mud fever by looking at its heels. If your horse’s heels are cracked, red and sore, you know that it has mud fever. Mud fever is caused by your horse standing in wet, damp or muddy ground for long periods of time. If you see that your horse has mud fever, call your vet so that he or she can help you treat it.

These swellings may be hot to the touch, hard or soft, and your horse may be lame. If you see swellings like this on your horse, you should call your vet before it gets any worse.

The shaking of the head, rubbing of the ears and thick brown wax is more than likely just ear mites which are bugging your horse. However, if there is discharge coming from your horse’s ears, you should call your vet straight away. This discharge is more than likely the result of an infection and will need quick treatment.

The eggs look like little yellow specks. If you find bot-fly eggs on you horse, ask an adult to scrape them off with a knife (be careful to not hurt your horse!). If your horse licks the eggs and swallows them, the eggs will develop into larvae inside its stomach or even its mouth, if they remain unswallowed. If you deworm your horse with ivermectin in early winter, it will destroy all the bot-fly larvae inside its body. Read more Hits: 2242
