I have a 6 year old paint mare that developed scratches on her rear legs (pasterns only) in the late spring this year. I've treated it all summer long (Furasone/Desitin/Cortizone Cream/Neosporin/Lotrimin AF) mixture. The scratches goes away, but always seems to return if I stop treatment for any length of time. How do I get rid of this for good, or am I simply stuck with it?
In addition, this same mare now is developing what look like scratches sores on her muzzle. They are flat, oozing sores, with a hard crusty top to them. Could this be a migration of sorts of the scratches, or possibly something else? Her muzzle is predominantly light colored, although she's been pastured for several years and has never had a sunlight sensitivity problem, etc. No different food source or pasture either. Any ideas for cause and/or treatment? Thanks.
