Treatments Of Mud Fever In Horses

Mud fever, also known as pastern dermatitis, is a common equine condition that affects the lower legs of horses. This Treatments Of Mud Fever ailment can cause irritation, scabs, and potentially serious infections, particularly in wet and muddy conditions. Understanding the causes and prevention of mud fever is crucial for horse owners to ensure the well-being of their animals.
