Cavalor has reinvented its approach to treating mud fever. More than 10 essential oils work together to heal, soothe and disinfect the pastern cavities. The formula is 100 % natural.
Mud fever is, without doubt, one of the most recognisable skin problems in horses. Mud fever is a collective name for different forms of skin irritation on a horse’s legs. In serious cases, the whole lower leg can swell up and, if left untreated, the swelling might not go away. In severe cases, this results in lameness.
The most well-known symptoms are redness, scales, scabs and cracks in the pastern. Bacteria and fungi can grow very quickly in the pastern and thrive here because it is warm and damp most of the time.
Mud fever can have different causes. For instance, dirt, mud, insects and washing out cracks in the skin, which are sensitive to bacterial infections, too often. Fungal infections, itch mite and sunburn are also frequently occurring causes. Because the pastern is constantly moving it takes a long time for the skin to heal.
