This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi list, My horse also rubbed her tail terribly all the time no matter how much I cleaned her udders. Although I rotate wormers, I noticed when I wormed for pinworms, she would stop rubbing for @ 1 week and the tail would seems to have new hairs, then the rubbing would start again. It would grow an inch, get rubbed off, grow and rub.
I recently switched to diatomateous earth as a daily wormer. (www.de36.com). After not even two weeks on the de-36, much to my total surprise she stopped rubbing completely and began to grow new tail hair for the first time in 18 months. Her tail has grown almost 1 foot of glorious new hair and she hasn't rubbed for over 6 months. I remember when my sons were small, the doctor warned me about 'bottom itching' and pinworm infestations. Clear out the worms, the itching stops by itself. Maybe this will help your horse. I also give my horse various homeopathic remedies. I give Thuja just before vaccinations and she doesn't feel so poorly for several days afterwards anymore.
