Mud Fever: Prevention, Diagnosis, Treatment

Description

Mud fever is a serious and debilitating affliction to which horses are prone when they are pastured on ground that is poorly drained or excessively soft under foot. These conditions are quite common, so it is very important that anyone who has responsibility for any horse's well-being should be aware of the condition: how to recognise it and how to treat it.
