Soothing cream- urgent!!

[poiuytrewq]

Can any of you clever people recommend something to help my poor little pony?
Every year, this time to the dot he rubs his face raw, this year I bought Bite back stuff. One to put in to try and prevent and a silver healing one for rubs. Neither seems to be working after rave reviews and I’ve come home tonight from work to a bit of a mess. We have a few months of this now.
Any ideas at to what I could try next? It’s nasty sore, weeping, bleeding.
He really needs a bit of help here! Poor soul

Naf msm cream has always worked for me, or wondergel

 

[rextherobber]

Steroid cream from your vet? In the meantime Aloe Vera might soothe it?

 

[Equi]

Ask your vet for some steroid cream. Mine makes his own it’s basically an emollient with steroid and maybe zinc? It’s not a branded name just their own concoction but I assume most vets make it. It really helped my boy.

 

[KatieDM]

Udder cream?! Poor lad.

 

[Snow Falcon]

Aloe vera gel

I also had some great antibiotic cream from my vet when my old boy had reacted to a fly bite. Can't recall the name of it now but it was fab. It had some silver in it.

I got given a tub of custard consistency soothing fly ointment from my vet when my colt was gelded, that kind of thing sounds perfect.

Sorry that cream didn’t work. I’ve no other suggestions as the 2 BiteBack creams worked fine on the SI mare I used to own.
Just shows that what works for one doesn’t work for all.
Hoping you can find something that helps.

Everywhere I look Bite back is really rated, it’s helped my TB recently when he got a weirdly irritated cheek, it was amazing and stopped him rubbing overnight.
I was pretty shocked when I got home from work this evening at my pony though. He looks awful

Good shout about the antibiotic cream. I once had some for Cec and used it up on this pony. I think it helped, I’d forgotten that
I’ll actually speak to a lady I work with, I remember her telling me she spent the day mixing creams- she works for an equine vet. She told me what was in their own blend mud fever cream and I was a bit
I can probably knock up my own for next to nothing if she tells me her secrets!

Tea tree spray. Stings a little if any open wounds but they then heal fast and the smell keeps the flies away.

He’s so nervy. I’d not in a million years be able to spray his face… if I did I’d never touch him again
Also if it stings it will be my last chance.
He has in the past collapsed because I put cold cream on him.

I really like Battles Summer Fly Cream. It is bright yellow and stains (wear gloves or use cotton wool to apply) but it soothes and sores and prevents flies.

Personally, I wouldn't put tea tree oil on any open wounds or use it undiluted.

Yes I do like that. They didn’t have any at the shop when I looked. He spent last summer with a yellow tinge

Until you can ge.t something from your vet get some calamine cream (not lotion) from a chemist or online. It's old fashioned but it does work

 

[Glitterandrainbows]

Canula cream from trinity consultants used it for many ailments highly recommend over silver

 

[Snow Falcon]

This is the stuff I use on sore areas, it's nice and cooling. (Have also used it on myself!)

Weirdly I thought of calamine today..I remember my mum plastering my sister in it when we were little and she had terrible allergies. Didn’t know there was a cream.

 

[Fjord]

My fjord rubs her face raw every year and I smother it with Filtabac. I keep plastering it on for a couple of days and it dries to a sort of protective layer which I leave (checking it everyday to make sure it's still dry and not getting worse) and it heals up underneath.

 

[Equi]

Calamine is very drying, I’d use it with caution

 

[blitznbobs]

Haemorrhoid cream with local anaesthetic in it. Reduces inflammation and numbs too

The cream isn't drying which is why I suggested it rather than the lotion.

One yard I used to work at bulk purchases haemerroid cream and used to send one of us to the chemist to buy as many tubes as possible if we ran out… so cringe

It is amazingly useful stuff - it really helps in lots of situations even if it just makes it feel better so the suffering person/ animal stops itching and rubbing at the injury thus not allowing it to heal

 

[conniegirl]

Good old fashioned sudocreme?
It what the vet told me to put on cob when his skin fell off

I’ve had to start putting Isoderm on my mares ears. Application just twice a week is really helping.

She has mild sweet itch but her ears and face are the most affected areas.

The Leo Vet Bio Skin Oil is also great stuff if you’re not having success with Biteback products.

 

[I'm Dun]

Lanacane. Its for people but its the only thing stops me itching when I get bites. If I don't use it I itch and come out in huge weeping, pussy lumps.

 

[Snow Falcon]

Bepanthem nappy cream. I believe it's also recommended by tattoo artists.

 

[Gloi]

Boett hoods fastened to your si rug. I really found them so good for my si pony.
If the sore is infected then Flamazine.

 

[marmalade88]

Bit random but human nipple cream might be worth a try. The Lasinoh on is just lanolin and soothing.

Or if verybad the Heel to hoof cream. I see that on some very dry creaked heals and I don’t see why it wouldn’t work a sore face as well.
