Externally; I have found that Zinc and Castor Oil combined together is great for Mud Fever. Firstly wash the area with a mild and gentle shampoo or mild soap then rinse with a diluted solution of T Tree Oil and towel dry. Smear on a thick layer of the Zinc and Castor Oil combination and leave on. If the area has lots of scabs, the following day you can gently rub the area and the scabs should just come off easily. I would reapply this every 2-3 days until all the scabs have gone. I would then apply a thinner layer and leave on if the paddock they are in is particularly muddy.
Internally; Giving antifungal herbs that fight the fungal infection and boost the immune system will help keep this at bay. Using herbs like Garlic, Rosehips, Nettle, Licorice, Siberian Ginseng and Echinacea which can be found here
Externally; I have found that smothering the Sacroid with a mixture of Castor Oil and Garlic Oil to be most effective. (You can also used crushed garlic). Castor Oil suffocates the fungal infection and the Garlic is an antibiotic and is antifungal. Reapply daily until the Sacroid disappears. Like Mud Fever, Sacroids need to be treat internally. I now have Bloodroot Paste which is for Ulcers, Tumors, Cancer and Sacoids. email if you would like to learn more about Bloodroot Paste. Green Tea is also excellent externally for Sacroids. By making a tea and putting on the area 2 x daily for three days then 1 x daily for 2 months. Stop for one month then continue 1 x daily for 2 months.
Internally; Giving antifungal herbs such as Garlic, Fenugreek, Rosehips, Cleavers, Echinacea, Burdock, Wormwood and Meadowsweet will help rid and prevent further recurrence. which can be found here
