So my mares ears have been really dry, and itchy. I don't want her to cut her face open itching, especially with it being show season. She has allergy issues so I have to be careful with what's used on her. I just put on aloe, so I'm hoping that it helps her and gives her some itch relief, but does anyone have any remedies just in case the aloe doesn't work? I have also been considering trying to use coconut oil on her to see if that helps. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you! - **Update** Aloe worked!

You'd be better off and so would your mare, if you asked a Vet. |

Has she got sweet itch?
No, the vet approved that she has a small autoimmune disorder from her old owner using bug spray that wasn't horse safe |

I've had a vet out for her allergy issues multiple times, but it's not that bad, I just want to see if anyone has any remedies, she usually gets dry skin around this time, I just want to see if anyone has any cremes or something that help The vet just said to give her dexamethasone for these flare ups. I have it on hand, and am using it, but I just want to see if anyone has any good products that can remoisten the skin. |

I really hope aloe works for your mare! My gelding had dry skin all the time - I used aloe and it worked like a charm. On his worse spots that were almost raw, I used Musher's Paw (it is a paw wax for dogs). |

Ok, thank you! That makes me feel better to know that aloe worked on your gelding, I'm really hoping it works on Winnie! |

My horse doesn't tend to get dry ears, but a friend's gelding did, she used this and it worked like a charm, although I do like the idea of Aloe a lot |

Ok, thank you! If I don't see an improvement with aloe in the next few days, I'll order that! :D |
