Answer 1

wow he doesn't sound as healthy as a horse ...does he? Add some olive oil to his feed he needs alittle moisturizing. Add about 4 teaspoons to about a hand full.

Answer 2

You can use head and shoulders on them, it wont hurt them or their mane at all.

Also add corn oil into his feed about 1/3 cup, if hes not overweight already... and that will help with keeping his dandruff down.

Answer 3

Try Listerine.  It was actually marketed as an anti-dandruff remedy when it first came out.  Just pour it on and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing out.  I don't know if it works with all the flavors or just with the original gold-ish flavor.

Answer 4

I would ask your vet... but you might be able to use the dandruff shampoo for people....

Answer 5

Give him cod liver oil in his feed. My horse had the same problem. it worked in a couple of weeks and gave have a lovely shiny coat.

Answer 6

use head and sholders on him......it dosen't hurt them

I had to use it on one of my horses and it got rid of it.
