    When to Dose

    What is Sweet Itch? Horses being being bitten by the Culicoides Midge (also known as Queensland Itch or Summer Itch) are often itchy in the mane, tail or rump area. They may rub these areas constantly, leading to raw and broken skin which can result in more severe infection, so it’s important to treat any itchy skin quickly.

    You can expect to see the remedy working within the first week, usually after day 3. Further improvement continues over the coming weeks as the formulation supports the normal functioning of the immune system.
    Dose until symptoms are gone, then reduce dosing to once a week to maintain.

    Works for dogs too. Just add about half a teaspoon to their water bowl. 

    How to Dose

    Dose via the water trough or by adding to feed. You should see a change within 3-7 days, with further improvements as the weeks progress and the normal immune response builds.

    Jerry Can Dosing

    Water trough - add 25mls - 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 and can provide coverage for multiple animals.

    Feed – add 12mls - ½ capful (12ml) or ½ pump - on to feed twice daily.

    1 litre = 80 days continuous cover via water troughs (dosing every second day) or 40 days dosing on feed (twice daily). *Maintenance dosing is once a week so product will last a lot longer.

    Dose until symptoms ease, then reduce dosing to once a week for maintenance.

    Our robust jerry cans are made from food grade plastic.

    Remedies are dispensed in food grade plastic jerry cans, sized 1 litre, 2 litre, 5 litres.

    The 5 litre jerry cans come with a free dispensing pump. The pump can also be bought separately for the smaller jerry cans.

    More Information

    The key to treating a skin condition is knowing exactly what the cause is. Head to our blog for tips on identifying common skin conditions and how to manage them using our range of remedies.

    Oral remedies need to make contact with a mucous membrane such as the tongue, gums or lips. Read our blog to find out more about oral dosing.

    General Disclaimer

    Our equine remedies are formulated to support a horse’s natural immune response. We do not claim to treat, medicate or cure any health conditions. If you are worried an animal may be in pain or suffering, please contact your veterinarian.

    Made in New Zealand. 100% Natural and Non-toxic. Homeopathic Preparation. Contains equal parts of: Ledum, Sulphur, Psorinum, Culicoides nosode, Culex Base: Vegetable glycerine & purified water

    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.
