I use Cetreban cream on them and I can usually keep on top of them with this, I rub it in well so that the scabs are loosened and then comb them out. He normally lets me do this as long as he has a haynet.
Rebel Diamitetreats scabs and helps to break down any further keratin that is produced. Will also treat any mites that are present and helps to prevent hard skin from forming. I will try the brewers yeast too. I had wondered about feeding her oil, although she is difficult to keep the weight off so this might be a problem. This condition is more common in breeds with this genetic characteristic How to Treat Mallenders and Sallenders Often, attempts to remove the mallanders and sallanders in horses can do more harm than good. Usually, they are just unsightly but in some more extreme cases, they can become infected. Trying to keep them soft by using aqueous based creams can be beneficial if they are prone to becoming chapped. Link to nutrition he allows me to handle his legs, part his feathers, and rub in the horse oil I am using. This is by no means the norm and indicates that he trusts me and that he finds the treatment helpful. He wouldn't let the vet touch his legs below the knee.

feed a supplement to promote moisture in the skin and coat. She recommended mirra-coat, of which I found possibly the last 2 tubs in the whole of the UK and bought them yesterday. I notice that it contains biotin. At the moment I'm thinking I'll wash in T-Gel once a week to get rid of any sort of build-up that may have occurred and apply a moisturising cream of some sorts (now thinking Vaseline?) 4 times a week (can't do more than that as he's only loaned out 4 days a week and on his non-loaning days I can't really expect yard staff to traipse down the field to rub a bit of moisturiser onto a couple of scabs!). Scurfy, flakey skin is another common symptom of chorioptic mange and is believed to be the skin’s natural defence to shedding the mites. Often, even when the mites have gone, the horse’s skin continues to flake. What is mallanders and sallanders?
Cobs are well known for gaining weight very easily. This was confirmed in a 2014 study published in the Equine Veterinary Journal, which surveyed a number of horse owners. Breed was identified as a risk factor for obesity, with draft horses, cobs, Welsh and other UK native pony breeds at an increased risk compared to thoroughbreds. Do supplements help? Many people give supplements. I have a supplement for Sid from Forage Plus, the Summer Skin Balancer. Do you have a view on whether a supplement helps? I felt alone for 4 years, nobody knew what he had nor did they know what to do except for oiling. Now it’s all past history cause of you.” The only proven and effective treatments are either a moxidectin or ivermectin leg wash, prescribed by your vet, however, many horse owners believe that diet plays a significant role in the severity of the scabbing and by carefully adapting the diet, the condition can improve. It’s commonly reported that prone horses can get a flare up in early spring time, believed to be related to the sudden grass growth in the UK. Similarly, a high sugar and starch diet is believed to attribute to further irritation and some horse owners even suggest alfalfa is best avoided also.
M&S Formula is a complete balancer that has been specifically developed for horses and ponies that suffer from Mallenders or Sallenders, it provides all the essential nutrients without fillers, bulking agents, cereals, alfalfa or sugars. M&S formula is biotin free and simply fed with a handful of chaff or grass nuts for those not necessarily on a hard food ration. Chorioptic mange can be treated but it is difficult to get rid of it completely due to the mites living in the environment or on other horses thereby causing re-infection. This means regular treatments are often required. Complete elimination of mites is likely to require treating all the horses on the property at the same time as well as disinfecting all the stables and other communal areas. Pig oil - didnt do anything for the itching but made the feather REALLY soft and silky. My horse was horrendously allergic to sulphur so pig oil only. Some sources recommend using a feed supplement to boost the body’s immunity and help with the healing process. Feeding a probiotic can help aid in digestion and overall health of the horse. Always do your research on supplements, especially probiotics! Pre and probiotics are sensitive to heat, so certain manufacturing processes can render the supplement ineffective. Conclusion
