Bald Patches

zkr_l · 04-20-2003, 02:05 AM

My New Forest Pony has recently started to get bald patches. These are about the size of a two pence and run from his neck down to his rump. They are dry and flaky but dont seem to bother him much? He hasn't had his coat on for a while so I know its not that.
Any help or advice would be greatfully received.

It might be rain rot. If it's not that, then I don't know.

it is probably ringworm, get some suitable antifungal cream

well i would get a vet over asap, its probably rainscald or rainrot, if it is in that case, buy some "Malas B" its great stuff, and works wonders. I used it on my horse, and it went within a couple of months. x
