  Wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to fix neck thread worm? I've got very itchy horses, we've wormed them so more looking to find out ways to stop the itch for them!

  Ivermectin based wormers are what control the threadworm larvae. This is a great read http://thehorsesback.com/neck-threadworms/ A lot of people have success with dosing once than a again a week or two later (seek vet advice on this for your horse) until improvements are seen. My horse had completely rubbed out his mane, underside of belly and chest when I had no idea what it was, he is completely normal now.

  Lynn B. asked:

  Hi everyone Does anyone have experience with hives / bumps breaking out on their horses skin ? Responds to cortisone but within a couple of days the bumps are back. Have done all the usual things - fly spray, goes out in full sheets, changed paddocks etc. Any other suggestions? Its not much more than unsightly, but would like to clear it up, all the same! Thanks in advance for your help.
