Sweet Itch Update & Citronella Bath

Azid’s sweet itch is doing really well, he’s had no new rubs since using the Killitch (http://www.carrdaymartin.co.uk/product/killitch-sweet-itch-solution/ ) and NAF Deet products (https://www.naf-equine.eu/uk/care/naf-off-deet-power-performance). So fingers crossed it remains that way.

We’re now bathing him twice a week. Using Killitch 2-3 times a week on his itchy spots. Using Deet spray everyday and the Deet gel every other day on his affected areas. He also has two citronella tags on his fly rug. We stuck with a normal full neck fly rug rather than a special sweet itch one.

I’m considering the injections next year and maybe buying a more sweet itch specific rug but if he stays this good then I don’t think it’ll be needed.
