Horses frequently suffer from
skin disorders. We differentiate between
infectious and
non-infectious skin diseases.
The most common diseases are mildew and scab. Skin spots, scraping of the horse when he has itch, hair loss, ... are just a few symptoms.
To determine an accurate diagnosis and proper dietary supplement, it is important to ask yourself some questions, such as:

- Where did you first saw skin spots and you can see them more in certain places (for example, light areas) than others?
- Are there more horses with the same problems?
- Do you also see skin complaints to other animals and possibly yourself or other persons?
- Has anything changed in the diet or in the horse's environment?
- Does the horse take currently medication, or has he been recently vaccinated?
- Do you notice that the skin symptoms get worse in certain types of weather (sun, rain)?
- Do you notice that there are more insects present in the area?
- When has the horse last been dewormed and in what way ?
- Is there itch?
