Sore ears

Hi, has anyone else experienced this? Just been out to try and ride my horse, when I attempted to bridle him he reacted quite violently and I've noticed he has white scabs in one ear. He's had them for a bit and it hasn't really bothered him, but they suddenly seem to be really painful now! He wears a fly mask and is treated with deosect fly repellant. Is there anything else I can do to stop him suffering?

Re: Sore ears

sounds like aural plaques - I don't have any first hand experience of them myself but if you google it, lots of info and advise comes up on the internet.

Re: Sore ears

try Camrosa for your horses ears:

Re: Sore ears

my horse has had this since he was 3 (hes now 13) and it has not caused him any pain, and doesnt seem to irritate him, but I cant touch his ears as people have tried to put cream in them previously which he didnt like, so I just leave them alone and put a fly mask on. The vet said they are not treatable.
