Hippalgo Anti-Eczema Set
The Hippalgo Eczema Kit has been specially developed for horses that suffer from summer itch affecting their mane, tail or belly.
If horses develop an itch on their tails and manes and start rubbing, it is often a case of tail and mane eczema. Sometimes a horse may also experience itching on its belly.
Even though summer is over, the days are getting much shorter and cooler again, very slowly the midges (gnats) are also becoming less and less. Finally, the horses can relax again as the itching becomes slightly less intense but summer eczema then leaves bald, scraped patches and wounds on the crest of the mane, tail and belly.
Causes: The saliva of biting midges triggers an allergic reaction, causing summer eczema in horses. These midges are usually most active at sunrise and sunset, making these times of day particularly risky for horses. The saliva of midges contains a protein that triggers an immune response in horses that are susceptible to it. Unfortunately, this immune response leads to inflammation, itching and discomfort for the horse.
Symptoms:
The symptoms of summer eczema in horses can vary from horse to horse, Unfortunately, there is no test available (yet) to check if your horse has summer eczema. Very tricky, because there are of course more reasons why a horse gets itchy and itches. Diagnosing summer eczema is therefore tricky but usually includes:
- Intense itching of the mane, tail and neck
- Crusting
- Thickening and darkening of the skin
- Open wounds
- Thicker mane comb
- Skin flakes
- Irritable
- Restlessness
- Redness and swelling
- Hair loss
- Terribly itchy
The most effective way to treat summer eczema in horses is by reducing the horse's exposure to biting insects. Such as:
The horse's diet and digestion (intestines) can also affect summer eczema and its susceptibility. The intestines absorb various nutrients and waste products. These are then absorbed and transported into the blood. When there is an excess of certain nutrients in the blood, such as proteins, it mainly causes the following:
- Set eczema by Paardenkriebels.co.uk combination works best spray + cream.
- Stabling the horse at peak times
- Applying fly repellent such as anti-bug spray from Paardenkriebels.co.uk
- Supplement the horse's diet with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. Supplements
- Too much protein affects the skin and worsens skin problems;
When there are too many nutrients/wastes in the blood, fewer foreign substances, such as those from the midge saliva, can be eliminated. Thus, the horses suffer from these substances for longer and the allergic reaction becomes longer. Miniature horses and Shetlanders can be very sensitive to excess protein.
Your horse's general condition also has a major impact on summer eczema and its susceptibility. If your horse is not feeling well or is on the lean side, chances are that its resistance is also lower than that of a healthy horse. Summer eczema then also gets a chance.
Of course, this does not mean that healthy horses cannot get summer eczema - they can. The general condition of the horse does affect how much it suffers and you can actually see that.
