Product Details
Cavalesse and Cavalesse Topical is a new, simple to use combined approach to skin allergies, particularly Sweet Itch, in horses which helps to maintain a healthy skin and promote normal immune function. Over 95% of horses don’t suffer from Sweet Itch, but if yours is one of the unlucky ones that does you’ll know just what a problem it can be – Sweet Itch causes discomfort, rubbing and scratching, disturbed grazing, broken skin and tail hair – downright misery for your horse and a management nightmare for you for the months of the year that the Culicoides midges responsible for it are active and biting. Cavalesse, produced by Fidavet is a natural food supplement containing a specialised formulation of water-soluble vitamins and minerals, including Nicotinamide. Once a month the contents of each sachet are dissolved in water to form an oral solution, which can be administered either by sprinkling over a small handful of feed or adding to a treat such as a sugar lump. To complete the Cavalesse skin management range, Cavalesse Topical is a skincare gel that can be used in combination with the Cavalesse solution. The gel can be applied to the skin to help support natural immunity from the outside, whilst the oral solution works in partnership from the inside. Cavalesse helps horses maintain a healthy skin by reducing histamine release within the skin, moderating the excessive immune response within the skin, reducing anti-inflammatory reactions and suppressing antigen induced transformation, all of which are involved in Sweet Itch. 2ml of Cavalesse should be administered to horses and ponies weighing less than 500kg daily, while horses weighing more than 500kg should be given 3ml per day. Cavalesse Topical should be applied to the skin according to requirements. The combi-pack of Fidavet Cavalesse 3 x 20g oral solution and 60g topical gel shown here is sufficient for a three-month supply which in most areas is sufficient to cover the worst of the Sweet Itch season.
