Some useful tips to remember when dealing with mud fever:
- Never scratch the scabs, this can lead to further infection
- Use a mild anti-bacterial shampoo for cleansing and then ensure the leg is as dry as possible before applying any appropriate creams for healing over night
- Clean your grooming brushes regularly as they can harbor bacteria if not kept clean
- Do not use dirty horse boots it can cause unnecessary and avoidable rubs
- Do not share horse boots; this will help prevent the spread of bacteria and fungus
- Wash your own hands after cleaning mud fever infected areas, we recommend using gloves where possible
Care and Washing Instructions:
- We recommend that the Mud Fever Boots are removed daily to inspect your horse's legs and to make sure that all the hook and loop fastenings are clean and secure. If the fastenings are not clean they will not stick properly, and therefore will not remain secure on the leg.
- Close all straps prior to washing
- Machine wash max 30°C/86°F in enzyme-free detergent
- DO NOT tumble dry
- DO NOT leave boots in strong sunlight
