Half price Sudocreme

hehe sounds handy i got some cheap in boots the other day
how many babies must the people at the checkout think you have lol
 
:D definitely gonna head down and stock up, amazing stuff!
Lol do get a few disapproving glares, especially if i'm stocking up on baby oil and kiddies suncream at the same time! Oh well, at least my neddies are kept happy and healthy:D
 
I have used the stuff for years - but after an incident 2 weeks ago - i will NEVER use it on a horse again - (and i'm now warey of using it on my twins!)

one of my ponies had a graze - prob could have been left but i put a bit of sudocreme on - within hours, the entire area around the graze was hairless, and blistering. She now has a fully healed cut... yet the surrounding area is a right mess!

I also believe if my memory serves me correct, that its a banned substance under FEI rules. (98% sure thats right but cant be bothered checking right now!)
 
I have never had any problems with sudocrem. Its great for mud fever!

I will also get some odd looks as i might stock up on nappies which i use for poultice boots, Baby wipes for odds and ends and baby oil for detangler and shine.
 
I use sudocrem instead of sun cream on my mares nose. Tried loads of different sun creams and they didn't stay on and were really expensive. Have had no probs since using the sudocrem and her nose looks lovely.
 
This may be a weird question but here goes!!
When you put sudocrem on your horses cuts etc does there hair fall off, like were you applyed the sudocrem? Just wondering as i think mine may be allergic or something!
 
When I used Nivea kids suncream on Saffy's nose the hair came out so I think she was allergic to it. Now using sudocrem and have no problems, so it could be a reaction to the sudocrem.
 
I would use sudocreme with complete caution. It is not so loved anymore by health proffesional's and not as widely used in hospital's and such like due to it's drying and granulating property's. I have been to MANY conferences where the subject of 'sudocreme - the wonder creme' has been bought it. Research shows that when applied to 'healing' wounds it takes the moisture away not allowing the wound to have a suitable blood/fluid supply, meaning the wound can go backwards, also like said the surrounding skin can become inflammed due to becoming dried out, or the sudocreme granulating.
It is not a licensed product for equine's, so personally would stick to horsey products. Would never put it on a nose to close to the mouth, if un-licensed in horses there maybe something in it that would do no good if consumed.
Just food for thought!
