Chorioptic mites are far smaller than lice and burrow into the skin and are thus difficult to find on skin scraps. Horses are often intensely itchy (puritic), restless, rubbing and sometimes have flaky skin as a result.
The picture above is of a mite found on a horse at the Clinic that was admitted for surgery.


Affected horses constantly stamp the hind feet or rub the backs of the hind fetlocks and pasterns against the stable wall or fence posts.
Remember that you must enter the use of any medicine on your horses passport to prevent the animal from entering the food chain at a later date OR sign section IX in the back of the passport which is what we recommend.
