Tackling Queensland Itch: Solutions and Prevention Tips
Queensland Itch, also known as sweet itch or summer eczema, can be a troublesome skin condition for horses, especially in warmer climates. This condition stems from an allergic reaction triggered by the bites of tiny Culicoides midges. As a horse owner, recognising and addressing the symptoms early is vital for effective management. Keep an eye out for telltale signs such as itching, hair loss, scabs, and open sores, primarily around sensitive areas like the mane and tail. Early detection empowers you to kickstart treatment promptly, providing your equine companion with much-needed relief.
