Butter cup burn helpppppp

[toulouse1]

I went away for the wknd and a livery was feeding my boy, but literally in 24 hrs he has the worst reaction on his nose, presuming butter cup burn

I can't get anywhere near it to put cream on it, does any one have any suggestions to try and give him some relief so I can get cream on it?! Will Benadryl ire the like do anything? Or Danalon?!
I'll bring him in during day
We have shows at the wknd aswell

Obviously removing the buttercups is first priority.

In during the day is another good idea, as is a nose cover on the fly mask - to protect from further damage to the delicate area from the sun.

Not a lot will give pain relief unless you apply it topically. One of ours got a bad photosensitive reaction last summer - I put sudocrem on his nose (when I could - he's 18hh so hard to reach when he puts his head up!) which helped block the sunshine a little.

My gelding had this a few weeks ago and the vet prescribed a steroid cream to use for 5 days. We also removed the buttercups from the field. Also when it's healed we were advised to cover him in suncream as he won't tolerate a fly mask.
