or rain scald in a snow version?!? Or is rain scald the same as rain rot?? I thought all funguses were the same but Stonewall got "Greasy heels" once and it was totally different than rain rot. He has white feet with pink skin and one day I noticed it was black and weird there and I got it off and he was just bald and weepy! Took longer to heal that rain rot too! Took several treatements. None of my other horses got it! Must be a white foot thing... or maybe he has tender skin. Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
