Grease Heel in Horses

grease heel is a high risk.
Groom Frequently
Frequent grooming can remove the dirt and dander that give the microbes a home. Wash your horses legs down after exercise to remove sweat and ensure they are always dried thoroughly. During wet weather owners can also apply creams like Sudocrem to the lower legs to waterproof these areas though care should be taken to wash and dry the legs first otherwise bacteria may be trapped inside 2
Use Sunscreen on AtRisk Horses
If your horse has white socks or pasterns an especially helpful prevention method is to apply sunscreen to these white areas on a regular basis 1 A thin coating can be used every one to two days.
If you suspect your pet is sick call your vet immediately. For healthrelated questions always consult your veterinarian as they have examined your pet know the pets health history and can make the best recommendations for your pet.
