Understanding and Treating Mud Fever
The trouble with mud fever, also known as greasy heel, is that by the time you notice it, it’s usually already well-established. Immediate action is crucial to prevent it from progressing into a painful condition characterised by swelling, pain, lameness, scabs, discharge, and cracks in the skin. Multiple infections, including bacteria, fungi, yeasts, ringworm, and mites, can complicate treatment and prolong recovery.
