I looked up a dust on the internet and found one, it was for goats as well.
My poor horses, I feel really bad.

I have dairy goats & occasionally they get lice from the wild birds or chickens. You can use poultry dust, seven dust on them safely. Usually anything you can use on goats can be used on horses. Ask your vet. Good luck.Pam

Hi there,
Yikes!!! I have never had any experience with lice in horses, but I have had a vet out to them this week and they certainly have LICE!!. I am ordering a bulk load of lice treatment for horses as he said I must shampoo/treat them all twice with it, but would love any other advice, too.
The old horses at my work had lice and were treated...while vet said it is BAD year for lice this year, I can't help thinking I bought them home on my clothes and transferred them here, as in ten years I have never had a horse with lice.
There are pour-on lice treatments you do once, are they effective enough, a stripe of stuff down the horse's back? There are also shampoo style ones.
Is there anything I can do to relieve their itching until I get the lice products ordered in?
Some have hair loss and I have eggs and living lice, too. As it is almost springtime only one horse is still rugged. I do not ride them at all. Vet suggested dividing them up as they are washed, so that the washed ones do not mix with the unwashed. I have about six fields. Would love any further advice/remedies.
I feel itchy talking about it.
Thanks!!!!!! Kim

I new round bail of hay just went in the pasture. His cough sounds like a "dry tickle in the throat" He coughs once or twice at one time any then there are several minutes without a cough. Still no fever, loss of appetite, runny nose, or other oddness. Will a flu shot help if that is what it is? He is due the first week of Sept. anyway, I just don't want to make things worse by giving it.

I have a pony who is over eight years old, but unsureof exact age. He started coughing yesterday and is still coughing today. He does not have a runny noseor any other symptoms that I can see. What should I do for him? Should a our vet come out? Or is there something I can do here?
Thanks Dawn
