Does anybody know of a cure for ringworm in horses?  

I am using Imaverol liberally & religously twice a day & have been for 2 weeks but still there are new patches appearing.    This is a truly miserable affliction, & the itching is driving my poor horse nuts.  Any advice from anybody's experiences with this rotten, stubborn fungus which I have now truly had enough of would be much appreciated.  

I have said it before, but this is absolutely the LAST time I EVER send one of my horses away!!!   Evil or Very Mad

Just read an article in H&H in which horses were vaccinated with cattle's ringworm vaccination with good results - can anybody think of ingredients in this vaccination which would cause a problem if I choose to go down this road?

Fucidic acid cream

Fucidin worked. Ask your vet

We have cattle art our yard an occasionally the human vectors it to the horses (and soemtimes gets it themselves). Itches like bloody hell.

I'm sure you're doing it anyway, but disinfect anything which comes into contact with your horse - brushes, rugs etc.  I had a friend who got ringworm from a top she bought in a second hand shop  Shocked  Sad

Cheers Bruce, will get some.    Thank you.  Laughing

Nic - your poor friend what bad luck - no danger of that with me - my clothes never get chance to go to a second hand shop they literally have to fall apart before I can bear to part with them   Wink   Am disinfecting & trying to keep clothes separate etc.  Costing me a fortune in washing powder alone.

Fingers crossed the fucidic works..

Did it for me. I had it on the web of my hand between thumb and forefinger - cleared it up quickly enough. But it is not a pleasant thing to have and an ounce of prevention is with a pound of cure...

It's endemic in the calves - they all have it.

Has your vet any suggestions?, they are usually very good at talking over the phone about possible cures without being called out?

Thanks Jo, I have only recently moved & don't know my new vets very well & they just keep recommending the imaverol, which isn't doing anything as far as I can tell.  Good idea though, I will ring my old vet on Monday & have a chat to him.
