Early detection and treatment are essential to prevent rain scald from spreading and causing further discomfort to your horse. Regular grooming, keeping your horse dry, and using topical treatments such as EquineCare Probiotic Topical spray can help manage and prevent rain scald.
The first signs of rain scald include:
Small, matted tufts of hair, often with a greasy appearance, particularly along the back, neck, and rump.
Raised, crusty scabs on the skin, which can be itchy and uncomfortable for the horse.
Redness and inflammation around the affected areas.
Sensitivity or pain when touched.
