Affected animals should only be allowed access to grazing at night. If the animal is affected by secondary photosensitisation, a low-protein, high-energy diet is recommended such as beet pulp. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as flunixin meglumine and topical steroid creams may be useful to decrease the severity of cutaneous lesions in the acute stage of the disease. If skin necrosis is severe, surgical debridement may be required.
