Two new products that were being advertised at burghley.

Vetericyn/Microcyn apparently is the same thing. Microcyn was made in the us for diabetic patients with limb issues. Have now made vetericyn but can be used on humans. From what I can tell is a bleach/chlorine based product, smelt that way too.

Horsewear hypocare appears to be a similar thing, just wondered if anyone had any experience with either. Though might be handy to have a bottle on stand by just incase and they both seem to cover lots of different uses such as thrush, rainscold etc.
 
Vetericyn has been out for a while - I got given a bottle buy the guy at Bramham last year as my horse had gone down on the road and practically skinned himself, punture wounds etc the day before we left (he was at the vets for the four days I was there!).

If I remember rightly, it contains Hydrochlorous Acid which is supposedly made by the white blood cells in the body as part of the immune response. The guy was saying how nothing should be allergic to it, you could spray it in the eyes/mouth/nostrils etc as it was something the body made itself so shouldn't irritate. I just sprayed it on after hibiscrubbing his wounds twice a day, and he healed up remarkably quickly considering the extent of the damage :) Was quite impressed! Hypocare seems to be the same thing.
 
Having bought a bottle of Hypocare at Burghley I'd be interested to hear too! I'm terribly sceptical about new horse products... If Sudocrem won't fix it nothing will :) however I researched it prior to buying it and it sounds too good to be true and I purposely hunted the stand out. I've already used it as the nice gentleman told me too on a abrasion graze on a cannon bone and got to admit already after only 2 days and 4 applications it looks clean, healthy and healing much quicker than I would have anticipated. I'm also using it on a cob that has ringworm and taking pictures for the gentleman of its progress.
 
I have some of each(tho I hope not to have lots of reason to use it!) and all I'll say at the mo is,Hypocare is a darn sight cheaper than Vetericyn!!
 
I was sent a free bottle of the Horseware hypocare, its really handy for cleaning and flushing out cuts. My filly had a nasty cut to her cannon bone the other week and I used it to clean her up, and it is healing pretty well I think.
 
I've used the Hypocare on everything and anything and love it! I even use it as mouth wash when I get mouth ulcers!
 
We have vetricyn at work (small animal vets). I was sceptical at first but having used it 3 times daily on a patient with a large tear to a leg I would say its good. It healed far better than I expected with far healthier granulation tissue.
 
Vetricyn is great stuff I use it on badly injured or sick chickens all the time, even used it around their eyes no problems, rarely get any thickened tissue around the scarring either
 
Hi, I use Vetericyn on my big ginger irish draught who gets rain scald (normally under rugs where he gets hot). It stops it dead in its tracks. Brilliant stuff and worth every penny. I can assure you, water does not have this effect.
I cannot get near him to apply anything topically (he is very defensive and doesnt like pain) so in the past have had to let it run its course and try and appply ointment after. But the minute I see a patch starting I spray this liberally. It clearly doesnt hurt at all as he allows me to continue and it stops it spreading and seems to stop fur falling out too.
I have now purchased some Hypocare as much cheaper. Hopefully this will have the same effect for less price. will keep you posted. But Vetericyn amazing stuff.
 
I bought the hypocare last week to try on my thoroughbred who is now having to live out full time and has got mud fever for the first time in his life. the product sounded like the answer to my prayers (a bit too good if im honest)and as he was getting more and more aggitated me trying to hibiscrub and put anything on him, being stuck in middle of a field trying to do all this was nightmare...however, having used the hypocare for what 6 days now, his mud fever has improved beyond belief! no more washing and stress for either of us, just spraying on the area twice a day, the slight swelling he had has gone, hes not tender anymore, the skin is looking much healthier and hes a much happier boy (as am i)! im pretty amazed to say the least. and to be able to walk down to him with just a spray bottle and not arms full of stuff aswell as feeds is fantastic. id fully recommend this product, really impressed so far, and as hes prone to nicking himself and doing silly things, im gonna keep a bottle of this on standby at all times.much easier than hibiscrubbing, putting lotions and potions on (especially in the dark and rain) and well worth the money as far as im concerned. id recommend anyone to give it a go.
 
I bought some hypocare after my horse fell and had a four inch flap of skin removed from the front of the cannon bone. The vet left the leg dressed for 4 days, and once the dressing came off I applied hypocare twice a day, and it has healed really well.
ok we will be left with a scar - but considering the size of the original wound the scarring is fairly minimal.
 
I bought the Hypocare a while ago to treat mud fever - cleared it up brilliantly. Have also used it on my TBs hoof infection with great results.
 
Have you tried Leucillin, its much stronger than Vetericyn and cheaper, BRILLIANT on mud fever, thrush and infected cuts, including eye problems. Trilanco stock it...
 
Been pretty happy with hypo care, been using it for a few months after someone at the yard recommended it. Great for cuts etc. Also been using it for mud fever... Apparently you can spray on without removing scabs and it will work but I did take scabs off. Happy with results though.

Know 2 people at my yard who used it for human cuts and were delighted with it (no stinging).
 
I've used Vetericyn recently both on persistent mud fever and when the idiot horse got kicked. He doesn't have a very robust immune system but healed well both times.

Ok - just seemed odd. You've never posted before, and you revived two old posts, so dead that they were practically ossified- and posted the same response on both, promoting another product. That's generally what clueless marketers do to try and stealth advertise the products they are paid to promote. I'm sure you understand that it looks a bit dodgy...
 
No worries; as you say I am new to this board and just having a good poke round, saw this thread and thought we could expand it a bit. I have used Leucillin on my mare for both mud fever and when she damaged her eye on a bush and got is badly infected, puts her nose in places she shouldn't; both clear up really well and very quickly; this stuff is amazing, I think it is all something called hypochlorous at least that's what Vetericyn and Leucillin call it, cant find anything on Hypocare though..
