where to buy icthammol paste?

[MDB]

As title please. Looking to get someone to bring this out to Spain for me to poultice my still lame mare with suspected abscess.

My parents have just sent me a message saying it is £600 in Boots. 600.

Boots pharmacist suggested magnesium sulphate as an alternative if that is any good? Otherwise I have one week to order something which my family can bring out so I can use as a poultice. So what do you all buy.

Thanks x

Could your parents get a local pharmacist to make up a bottle of icthamol and glycerine, which should work as well? We also tend to use epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) for hoof abscess, in disposable nappies, so may well be worth trying.

Equine America make an ichthammol paste called Blackdraw. Old Mill saddlery have it and I'm sure lots of others too...
