Managing Mud Fever

During the winter months the wind, rain and cold temperatures can often increase soil dampness which creates a breeding ground for a host of bacteria and fungi which can affect your horse's health and wellbeing causing problems such as Mud fever. Mud fever can be caused by bacterial and fungal organisms and results in painful sores and scabs most commonly affecting the pastern and heel area. When the skin becomes damaged, broken or scratched the organisms are provided a point of entry and if left untreated the broken skin can weep causing a crust to form over sore areas enclosing it and allowing an infection to take hold. Horses that are kept in muddy, wet environments are the most at risk but good management of a case of mud fever is essential to minimise the condition and ensure a quick recovery. Stabling horses on clean, dry bedding and clipping around the lesions can help and using a medicated spray or wash to cleanse the wounds is vital. Hypocare available from The Saddlery Shop provides a revolution in infection control as the topical application mirrors the body’s own immune system, naturally working with the body as the active ingredient in Hypocare is Hypochlorous acid, which is naturally produced by the body’s own immune system. Ideal for flushing out infected wounds or lesions Hypocare developed by Horseware will kill all bacterial, viral and fungal infections on contact. The germicide is powerful proving 80-300 types more effective than other products yet the product is incredibly kind to healthy tissue. Formulated to emulate skin pH Hypocare works in perfect harmony with the body, meaning it will not sting when applied, harm healthy tissue or slow down the healing process. Horseware Hypocare is not a substitue for veterinary advice but provides a brilliant way to manage scabs,lesions and minor infections caused by mud fever. Available today from The Saddlery Shop this innovation in wound care is a must have for winter management.
