Mallanders, and a moody mare SFB is reminded who's boss at the end!

I've been treating Fatty's mallanders with filtabac, and have been adding seaweed to her diet. It seems to be working, and there are definitely fewer scabs and poorly skin. #fatty #mallanders #seaweed

Washing the feather with Dermoline or malaseb weekly and drying with a hairdryer helped me. I also used a nit comb to remove scabs in the feather. I applied wound cream instead of sudocreme but you’ll need a vet to prescribe it.I also used to get a dectomax injection 6 monthly for my traditional cob who is sadly no longer with us. Good progress with the seaweed though.

Nit combs are brilliant! I've not heard of malaseb so I'll have a look, thank you 😊 sorry for your loss x

@@2fatponiesuk malaseb is a shampoo used for dogs and cats with skin problems. My vet prescribed it for malanders. You can probably buy it from viovet. I was told not to use sudocream as it provides a haven for bacteria. You are doing a great job.
