Treating Rain Scald

[CastleMouse]

Castle has some rain scald sort of on the side of his belly, slightly in the centre. It isn't too big of a patch, but how should it be treated? I'll gently pull out all the hairs, and leave a bald patch, but what product should I use on the bald patch? All help greatly appreciated!

(I have also posted this in the Veterinary section)

Apparantly, I've not tryed this but, cornecrese, the stuff you put on their feet is supposed to help hair grow back??

 

[CastleMouse]

Really? I heard Aloe Vera Gel is also meant to make the growth back quicker, does anyone here know if it works or not?

Id use Sudocreme (from chemists), works a treat on loads of things. I always use it on sores etc.

Husband has found some cream from Indian Herbs works incredibly well on rainscald and mud fever, so much so he ordered another tube this year. He was given a free sample at the equine fair and it has worked on everything he's tried it on. go and google their site to see what they recommend.

A lady at my yard uses Camrosa - she reckons it's brilliant!

Liquid parrafin is amazingly effective, and very cheap.

Keep smothering the area with it, and the scabs will soften and come off in no time, saving all the effort of pulling out bits at a time.

If the skin is healthy and pink underneath, sudocrem or any other product like that can be put on, but I personally have never bothered as I like the fresh air to get to the area.

Horses for courses though.

Due to a very bad ex-yo my tb got bad rain scald on his hind quarters, we bathed it with warm water and dettol, cleared up in no time and his coat grew back really quickly

Definitely Camrosa

See my results with Ellie's Rainscald if you need proof that it works!
