    How To Dose

    Photosensitivity Support: Add 1 capful (25ml) to the water trough every second day until green grass has died off or risk period has passed. Based on 500 litre trough.

    Liver Plus: Add 1 capful (25ml) to the water trough every second day. Safe for long term use.

    Puffiness Plus: If swelling or oedema are present, give 2 pumps into the mouth or on a treat, twice daily until drainage is complete. Monitor your horse’s health and consult your veterinarian if the horse is suffering or in any pain.

    Mud & Rain: Give 2 pumps into the mouth or onto a treat that wont absorb it, like carrot or apple twice a day for 2-3 weeks until symptoms ease, then reduce to once a week for maintenance. If symptoms have appeared, dose for 2-3 weeks or until healing is complete and the scabs have fallen off leaving clear healthy skin underneath. As a preventative, start dosing once a week as soon as the rainy season starts. Keep an eye on your horse’s legs and at the first sign of any trouble, increase dosing to twice daily for 7-10 days to return the skin to its normal healthy state. Reducing dose frequency when symptoms aren’t present will avoid desensitisation to this remedy. Severe or long-standing cases will take longer to resolve. If you have any questions about dosing or progress, please get in touch. 

    These remedies can be used alongside veterinary prescribed medications, and can all be added to the water trough at the same time.

    90ml Pump Bottle  

    Give 2 pumps into the mouth or onto a treat that wont absorb it, like carrot or apple twice a day for 7 days, then reduce dosing as symptoms ease.

    90 ml Pump Bottle = 230 doses (2 pumps per dose). 

    Bottles are food grade aluminium with a hygienic serum pump lid and over cap. Great for dosing on the go.

    Jerry Can Dosing

    Water Trough – add 25ml's - one capful or 1 Jerry Can pump - of remedy into the water trough every second day. Dose volume is calculated for a 500-litre water trough.

    Mud Fever and Photosensitivity can present with similar symptoms, but they're actually different conditions, caused by different factors, which means they need to be treated differently too.  While Photosensitivity is caused by your horse ingesting fluorescing chemicals in lush green grass, Mud Fever / Greasy Heel starts when bacteria enter the body, usually through broken skin. 

    If there is lots of lush green grass around or there is algae in the water trough, you might be dealing with photosensitivity, or if “mud fever” is not responding to usual treatments.

    For a full guide, head to our blog article: Does my horse have mud fever/greasy heel or photosensitivity?

    Like all Hippo Health products, this product comes with a money back guarantee for anyone not pleased with the results.

    This remedy won’t cause any adverse effects, but the ingredients will only activate when they come into contact with a mucous membrane such as the tongue, gums or lips.

    Adding 25mls (1oz) of remedy from our Jerry Can to a 500L (100-gallon) water trough every second day is enough to dose all of the animals that drink from that trough. With homeopathic remedies, the dilution ratio doesn’t have to be exact. The active ingredients disperse through the trough using the hydrogen particles in the water, so each animal gets a fresh dose every time they take a drink. Regardless of how much – or little – water is in the trough, the potency of the remedy will be the same. Adding our remedies to a water trough means a new dose is administered every time an animal takes a drink. The trough doesn't need to be emptied and refilled between doses as the sunlight destroys any residues after three days.
