Greasy Heel<br />
EQUITANA 2011<br />
Within 4 days of applying topical c<strong>or</strong>tisone cream to the by now extremely<br />
painful and swollen limb, the condition began to decline at almost the same<br />
rate as it had expanded, and within 2 weeks had all but disappeared. Other<br />
fact<strong>or</strong>s to be considered in the treatment of the condition are -<br />
DO NOT scrub it <strong>or</strong> attempt to remove the scabs. Leave them alone and in<br />
place.<br />
Keep the area as moisture-free as possible.<br />
DO NOT bandage the area; allow it to dry out and apply nothing apart from<br />
the topical c<strong>or</strong>tisone.<br />
An interesting and anecdotal observation I learned from this condition, is the<br />
fact it re-presents around the same month each year. (with my observed h<strong>or</strong>se<br />
it is in March). This is despite the h<strong>or</strong>se now living in a completely different<br />
paddock on a different property, which would almost certainly eliminate any<br />
chance of it being an annual weed <strong>or</strong> similar.<br />
