RE: Flys in horses ears
This message is from: "Skeels, Mark A (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks for the reply, I agree, my horses like to chew on each other's necks and if I leave halters on they get all chewed up by the other horses and of course, they use the halter as a tug rope. I find halters laying around in the mud or being tossed around by the horses if I leave them on. A fly mask wouldn't last very long with the geldings. Just like little puppies and shoe laces.

I use it in our dogs ears and also the horses. It works great. The little boogers just drown in it if they come near the ears at all. I have never had an animals ears get infected yet from these flys. Hope this helps. Sue (Desert Storm's mom) >Just another possibly stupid beginners question about >horses ears.

This message is from: "Karen McCarthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Original Message Follows From: "Michele Bigelow" We use garlic powder x2 a day in their meager grain portion Within days of starting garlic, no more gross, bloody, crusty ears.

This message is from: "Michele Bigelow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We use garlic powder x2 a day in their meager grain portion once the little ear flys start. My older paint mare has very, very sensitive skin - and has reactions to everything but the garlic. I will also use fly masks. Within days of starting garlic, no more gross, bloody, crusty ears. Plus the barn smells nice! Michele

This message is from: "Frederick J. Pack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Skin so Soft contains citronella. You can buy it across the counter at any pharmacy. We used the Spot On the last two years with excellent success. No problem with the horse's ears (flies) without doing anything else but the Spot On. BTW, Skin so Soft is said to be an excellent mosquito repellant. I can't use it. It makes me itch so bad I want to tear my skin off. I am allergic to nothing else...
