Mare is rubbing her tail, what can I do about it?
Hello, my mare is rubbing her tail…
I've already checked for dandruff, but there isn't any. She's not rubbing herself until she bleeds, but it is causing her tail hair to fall out so much that when I run my hand over the base of her tail, a large clump of it comes out. I've already tried anti-itch products like birch water from DM and well-known equestrian products that promise to provide relief, but nothing helps. At one point I thought it might be something to do with her heat, so I started rinsing the sticky patches with clean water every day, but that didn't improve things either… she had it last summer and it was gone by winter… maybe some insects? She's not rubbing her mane, and the vet has ruled out eczema. Now my question: do you know what this is? Where does it come from, and what can I do about it?

Let the TA give you Equimyl. My mare is doing the same, and Equimyl is helping very well.
But whether summer eczema or not – every summer eczema occurs differently with each horse concerned – the treatment is the same. Zinc treatment is important and to find the right abrasive. And that's hard. Every eczema owner can sing a song from there. DA's means A helps with horse A, the means B at horse B…etc.. It may also be that the means A only acts on horse A in the early summer, but then no longer.
It's just tracked. If it's bad, you have to cover the horse. That's stupid, but that really helps.
This year my horse is almost unaffected. Maybe it's because I started the zinc cure this year already in January. You can't wait until the itching begins. I'll take the not cheap zinc from Orthosal.
'But how does the TA exclude summer eczema? This disease has so many manifestations that for me every eczema that occurs in the summer is a summer eczema. It doesn't mean it's not a SE, just because the horse might never have it before.
Treat your horse on summer ice. Zinc rubbing event.
Equimyl is also available in pharmacies, for example, there is no need for the veterinarian price.
I've been treating Equimyl for a long time. After that I found the "Zemlotion" of Relax Horse Care – makes exactly the same on a natural basis.
Interesting. Thanks. But: never change running horses. I'm glad I got the eczema in such a way. This year especially well, maybe because I started the zinc so early. In September there is another zinc cure.
What zinc preparation do you give? From curiosity – my adores in summer.
The zem lotion is of great interest to one or the other;)
Usually there is a zinc deficiency behind it, especially during the change of fur. You don't see it stupidly on the bloodstream, because lack of zinc is only taken out of the organs and skin before it is taken out of the blood. If skin and organs have no more zinc for a long time, there is still one in the blood.
Instead, the BB usually shows a selenium deficiency because this is the counter player of zinc. Problem: With too much selenium you poison the horse.
Original horses from very charitable areas have something like that. Icelandic, Tinker, etc.
When the zinc level is refilled, the selenium level also rises on the BB.
I would advise you to buy a good zinc preparer in chelate form to fill up the acute deficiency and to feed a hand full of sunflower seeds with shell in the winter between the sunlights daily to support the zinc level during the coat change.
The advantage: Zinc is not harmful if you exist, although there is no need. It's just getting divorced. In contrast, one can poison the horse with an excessive amount of selenium.
Is a German riding pony… so actually not really typical, zinc we already feed as our veterinarian had already recommended to try out whether it improves
Summer eczema occurs in all races. My mare is an Arab.
It's good that you feed zinc, but next year care to start long before the first symptom. I started in January. As a cure, I understand.
What kind of preparation do you feed? They have different good bioavailability.
let's examine the feces for worms and wash your horse regularly the one behind and with another sponge the shame.
when brushing with the bar nicely handle the area around the whistle.
in the rule it does not adore at all the whistle, but the back or the fell around the whistle.
and also perform with the zinc, which lyanea recommends.
All already done :/
Summer eczema cleared?
Try it with special eczema shampoos and oils and adjust the feeding.
Covers could also help, there are special eczema ceilings.
In veterinarian, you can check if it has an infestation (crabble cattle), or possibly a deficiency (blood picture, cot sample, etc.).
Everything is already cleared and checked without finding
and how will the TA check this out? Go to Facebook on one of the eczema forums. I'm not calling the vet for my mare's eczema. For as far as this is concerned, every eczema owner is superior to the TA of experience and knowledge. Summer eczema or no summer eczema is lit. The treatment remains the same.
This will be crawling mosquitoes.
There I have made good experience with Leovet Bio-Oil, which seems to scare off the critters, is good against itching and cures/cares the skin.
Yes, that's one of the products I've tried… hasn't helped
just. What do you mean, why every eczema owner in the closet has a lot of unhelpful miracles. The miracle cure that works on horse A may not work at all on horse B. The means that seems to be good for most horses is the means of throwing. But when applying, you have to be very careful. If only one molecule comes to your skin, you are very lonely at Edeka. (Good anticorona agent, I'm just falling in. Also the wildest conspiracy theorist keeps distance.) So always use with thick rubber gloves. It stinks pathetic. And unfortunately, it stains the hair dirty brown, which looks terrible in a mold.
Too bad.
If there's one more idea, of course, it's a need to get used to the silencer.
the Trakehner gelding of an acquaintance had heavy eczema in the summer. Nothing helped. Except Livio salad oil. He's probably the only horse that helps. But this is typical of this disease.
