🐴 Mud, moisture, and shifting seasons can bring on a handful of skin irritations for your horses and livestock. Having a properly stocked tack room shelf makes all the difference when managing minor external issues.
Here is a breakdown of how the popular skin and wound care options shown here can help keep your herd comfortable:
• Absorbine Fungasol Ointment: Formulated with tea tree oil, this medicated topical ointment serves as a strong first line of defense against fungal and bacterial skin conditions. It is ideal for targeted spot treatment on stubborn issues like rain rot, ringworm, girth itch, and pastern dermatitis ("scratches"), creating a resilient protective moisture barrier that stays put.
• Equiderma Zinc Oxide Paste: A thick, waterproof, and 100% emollient barrier designed to withstand 24/7 turnout. It seals out the
environmental moisture that fuels mud fever, greasy heel, scratches, and dew poisoning while simultaneously providing built-in UV protection.
• Finish Line Fura-Free: A safe, nitrofurazone-free sweat and salve alternative used to help protect minor cuts and scrapes, while also working as an effective leg sweat to aid in drawing out fluid and reducing swelling.
• Corona Multi-Purpose Ointment: A classic, thick, lanolin-based formula that has been a staple in barns for generations. It helps promote the natural healing of minor cuts, sores, burns, and chapping by keeping the area moist, flexible, and shielded from insects and dirt.
