I have a gelding with hard patches on his his hind ankles, they ooze out a yellowy scabby ooze that reminds me of tree sap, and they are sore to the touch. I've washed him with EQ Solutions, used MTG a few times and not much better. It would help if I knew what it was and what to put on it. Tried Vetrycin last night so I'll see how that works, but anyone know what this could be?

sounds like scratches or mud fever to me. I use chlorhexadine shampoo. wash legs with it but dont rinse it off. next day do the same. takes about a week to really see a difference.

Try desitin, highest amount of zinc oxide at Walmart, should dry it up, made a difference on my horse in a couple days but it takes quite a few weeks to get rid of them, maybe need a systemic antibiotic if really bad.
