Lille the shire horse with a severe itch
Treating horses with itchy skin reactions with CritterKleen & CritterKream
A few months ago, Marie’s shire mare Lille developed severe itchiness in numerous areas. To begin with, Marie suspected it might have something to do with the change of seasons. Over the warmer spring days the horses would naturally start to shed their winter coats. However, the horse couldn’t find comfort and she ended up scratching herself so much that she lost patches of fur and she would bleed in small areas as you can see in the photos Marie provided to us.
Marie asked around and had the vet take blood samples and skin scrapes to send for analysis. Unfortunately, all tests came back without any clear findings. Lille the horse received a single shot of steroids which seemed to help for a weeks time. She said she even tried Ivermectin treatment in case it could be neck worms, although all her horses are regularly wormed according to their FEC. Marie tried to bathe the horse with different medicinal shampoo, but nothing worked for her.
Marie shared her experience using CritterKleen® on her social accounts and let us quote her here:
“In my humble opinion, the skin reaction looked like some kind of allergy or fungal infection, so I tried every cream and spray you can think of.. like everything! I tried to eliminate all her different feed and supplements one at a time to see if any of that would have an effect, but it didn’t.
I found out about CritterKleen® and have used the products for about 2 weeks. What a difference they have made! The Skin Repair comes in a 250ml bottle and gives the skin instant relief from whatever has caused the itchiness. I used a cotton ball to dap the product onto the affected areas. The CritterKream comes in a metal container. It’s a wax based barrier cream that conditions the skin afterwards.
This is not paid advertising. But credit has to be given when something actually works! “
Relief from itchy skin
Within two weeks of treating Lille’s skin with CritterKleen Natural Skin Repair, the horse finally got some relief from the constant itch. Her owner Marie also applied CritterKream to seal & condition the skin and to keep bugs away from the irritated areas.
Thank you so much, Marie, for sharing those fabulous results with us. We’re so happy to hear our animal skin care products worked for your horse Lille and that she finally got some relief from the nasty itch.
