Pony Nips

[Carlosmum]

New pony arrived last week. I attempted to keep them separate for a few days but Sam was having none of that. Poor Mo has a couple of nips on her shoulder, nothing nasty but probably a bit sore and some broken skin. Whats the best thing to treat? I have sudocreme and summer fly cream. He's not being nasty, just the usual, this was MY field first . Not helped by a total lack of grass.

I put tea tree spray on any and all non vet requiring injuries.

‘Wet’ treatments encourage skin regrowth faster but also encourage bacteria more. Same reasons - warm, wet environment. I prefer to dry the wound and let it heal in its own time, but I know others do it differently.
