Camrosa

[Tia]

I can't remember how much the ointment is - £20 or £30 I think.

I think if you read what was said on the other thread it was all hearsay! No-one there had actually said that they had used it.....they were just spouting out stuff that they had heard.....and who knows whether Chinese Whispers had something to do with it.

Me? I judge things by experience. If I have bad results then I don't use again - in my case I think I have used Camrosa on 20 or 30 horses all told - for many different things - never once have I had any reactions to it and it has always done what it says on the tin!

Wow, well that sounds like a pretty good record. Yes, i see what you mean about the link. I think i will give it a go, the price sounds great aswell, compared to whatshisnames £400. Thank you so much for all your advice and experience!

Tia you are famous, i was looking around for it and there is a quote from you on ebay!

Its fantastic stuff wouldn't be without it! It was me who used it on my shettie with terrible sweet itch with fantastic results. The people at camrosa were fantastic i sent them weekly emails and photo's of the improvement and also pictures of how i applied the ointment and they told me where i had gone wrong and where i needed more ointment. So you could always do this for your case, also ask them to send you a booklet and it will show you how to treat them in there. I will have a look for my book when i go to the yard and see if i can scan you the page if you like? I'm not saying that it would work in every case, but i would definately try it. When i first applied the ointment to me little on it lifted all the old dirty scabs off and did look very sore, although he was already very sore, they said this was quite normal. It was only for a day though the following day you could see the improvement already. Here are some of the before and after photo's and i'll try and put a link up for my photobucket then you could look at the pictures i had to take to send to them.
I know it is a different case from your but it will hopefully give you an idea of how will it worked for me.
BEFORE

AFTER 4 WEEKS

I haven't got any recent photo's but you wouldn't know he was ever that bad. He does sometime get the odd itchy patch on his mane, so i just put some ointment on and he is fine the next day. Tried to work out how to let you veiw photobucket but don't know how to do it? Sorry.

If you know how let me know!
Sorry it's a long one, but hope it helps.

Just to add as well, i used it on my budgie we got that had scaley face and mites. He was cured within 4 days!

It says:

"I have heard people on this forum not being convinced of Camrosa, however I am not sure how many of them have actually used it. I have used it for at least 8 or 10 years and it has worked on every horse I have put it on with great success. " Tia Sourced from Horse "e" Website

Those pictures are amazing, what an improvment!

ann82 - was that purely using Camrosa or did you use the rug aswell? If so, did you start using both at the same time only my lad will improve that much just with a Boett in 4 weeks and he has severe, severe sweet itch. I'll be VERY interested in Camrosa if that is without the rug on.

I am the person that Tia was speaking about with the horrendous rainscald scarring.

I bought Ellie 2 1/2 yrs ago and from her history I know that she has had this scarring for at 'least' 6 -7yrs

Maybe longer!

I have tried every lotion and potion and supplement that you can think of and although I have had a small amount of success nothing of any great significance.

I started the treatment in the last week of June this year after her skin started to break down and these photos were taken in August and September. I desperately need to take some more recent ones as you will be shocked even further by our success I am sure.

Unfortunately for some daft reason I never took any close up pictures of the areas before I started treatment

but I am sure you can see how bad they were from the August ones.

This is a link to the page I posted in veterinary with pictures of our improvement upto September 9th.

September 9th 2006

I will try and get some more pictures tomorrow if I can.

I haven't bothered with the remover and shampoo to be honest (although it can be a difficult product to remove if you have to). I just use a teatree shampoo and a tiny amount of washing up liquid if I really have to get a lot off....but you need to be careful not to scrub too much.

sojeph. I bought the rug as soon as i knew i was getting him, but then decided to try Camrosa. I put the rug on after about 2 weeks of using Camrosa but at this point he still needed applications of Camrosa and they just made the rug sticky and horrible, so i left it off and just applied the ointment. Once i had cleared all the sore bits completely, after about 6 weeks, he then had his rug on and i would just put a small amount of ointment on if he got sore, around that area. I wil be using a rug this year and have camrosa on standby. It was just i only took him on in July and and it had left to get this bad. I'm thinking of investing in a boett, but his other seemed to work ok and he is a bugger for rubbing, because to be honest I think it is a habit now as well.

 

[sojeph]

You're right. It certainly becomes a habit.
Thats really interesting that you had no rug on at all during that time so he would have still been bitten. Is it definitely sweet itch. Certainly looks like it to me!!
Right..will defo get some camrosa to go in my first aid kit although now mine is by the sea he hardly suffers at all!!

 

[ru-fi-do]

I think we have spoken about this before in another post but i'm sure brewers yeast has helped too. When i first got him i also put camrosa around his sheath as that is where he was getting bitten and between his back legs, but once i had got on top of it i used vaseline as this works in the way to stop the midges sticking. Definately worth having though for any sore bits that they get.

 

[sojeph]

Hee, hee!! Yes we've talked about sweet itch several times on here haven't we! Its one of those subject, for me, that I could yak about for ever! Trouble is, there's so many different opinions that I forget who said what, where or when!!! I expect by the time someone really finds out a cure my cobbie will be long dead although at least its only mild for him now - there was a time I was ready to have him PTS!!
Anyway - I shall add a pot of camrosa to my first aid kit and try it next year

Haven't read all the replies but i used Camrosa on a huge sarcoid a mare of mine had in the corner of her eye. It was bleeding and sore but within a short time the bleeding stopped, the skin went healed and the sarcoid started to shrink. It disappeared completely and never came back. I love the stuff! Hmmmm that reminds me... I must get some more!

 

[miamibear]

I checked my horses scars and i have to say it looks like the hair has started to grow back

The scars are much less noticable but the hair is still shorter than the rest.

That was 2 months ago using the camrosa once a day for about a week then once a week (when it needed topping up) for about 2 weeks then i stopped because i thought it was doing nothing. Think i will start using it again. By summer i may have a scar free horse.

Best bit its coming back chestnut!!
