I have a horse with a severe fungus in the skin area below the fetlock joint. I suppose is fungus because it produce some scalp and wound after a ride. We use some fungus treatment like furazone, betadine, scarlet oil and a mix of water and clorox to prevent it and nothing seems to work.I suppose that no matter that the horse perform very well , he suffer a lot with the wounds. Also the next day of the ride he shows pain when walking. Please advice.

Hello Angel,
This sounds like what we call grease heel so go to the article, Equine Diseases: Skin Diseases: Scratches, Grease Heel, Dew Poisoning, & Mud Fever and see our recommendations. Also read the forum posts there is a lot of discussions in there also as this is a common problem.
