Hi i have a really old Remedy that ive been using for over 15yrs for Mud fever…
Ingredients required..
1. 1 TUB of sudacrem
2. small box of flower of sulpher(mineral) can be perchased from health shop.
3. bottle of olive oil or any good oil can be used.
4. coffee jar with lid
mix the full tub of sudocrem with oil shake well until cream is mixed with oil..not to thick,if to thick keep adding oil..we need a good dencity cream then slowly add the flower of sulpher keep shaking until half the small box is added. keep shaking until all mixed into a smooth cream.
clean serface where mud fever wound is with hibiscrub (if the horse is hairy u will need to expose affected area to treat it thoroughly) dry thoroughly and apply mixture repeat ever other day and until sore has gone and then once clear apply to the skin oil or vasaline to protect sensitive area…i hope this helps some people as my cobs were bad at one stage now we dont have trouble with mud fever.x tara
