What are some of your best remedies for rain rot/mud fungus? It has been pretty chilly here lately so bathing really isn't a good idea right now but i don't know how to treat it without bathing with antifungal shampoo. I have never really had this problem before but one of my horses has developed it pretty bad lately since i quit stalling them up at night (which is about to change as well) and with his winter coat setting in.
My two got it back this spring with all the rain. First time I've dealt with it. I had some fungus bath soap in the house and thought I try it and it worked very well. I can't remember what it was called, but got it from tractor supplies.
we had one that arrived with it...Its a fungus so please dont treat with gasoline, etc. Use a good fungal med. Stuff for jock itch works great. Desitin keeps a barrier on it so it doesnt stay moist. Also we treated from inside out with Sulfa. Good Luck

Gasoline? please don't tell me people actually put gasoline on a horse's skin? i hope i'm completely misunderstanding that lol
I used to use an all natural spray from the local feed store... Had the word Frog in it and had a frog on the clear bottle it came in. I used it twice and it got rid of it. Wish I could remember what it was called.... Haven't seen it in a while.
I googled trying to find it and all google pulled up was a spray called Banixx? May be worth a google. LOL
