3/10/2008 9:01:55 PM

"captan" antifungal powder - its for roses but works great on horses

3/10/2008 7:44:05 PM

With feathers, I regularly cleanse the hoof bulbs and length of pasterns

3/9/2008 9:12:48 PM

3/9/2008 10:06:34 AM

Once, a long time ago i think we used mineral oil

3/8/2008 9:57:58 PM

clean with betedine soap and dry with hair dryer.

3/8/2008 8:39:33 PM

3/8/2008 11:17:46 AM

We use betadine scrub in warmer weather, a mist of it in cold weather helps. All our rescues have it

3/8/2008 8:58:30 AM

try and keep them blanketed or dry abd pick off the scabs because they will get infected, wash too

3/8/2008 1:46:53 AM

One horse gets it, the other never does. Listerine works pretty well.

3/7/2008 11:35:23 PM

Humid, moist climate = rain rot

3/7/2008 10:31:35 PM

Used to get it, till friend told me about Listerine

3/7/2008 9:54:10 PM

MTG works fantastic, we often have rescues come in with rainrot

3/6/2008 6:57:20 AM

3/5/2008 11:27:30 AM

I use betadine shampoo every day for 1 week.

3/5/2008 11:24:36 AM

I had a mare and foal pair that got it almost every year.

3/5/2008 11:18:15 AM

I use bacon grease on it. The salt heals and the grease keeps it soft so hair grows back fast.

3/5/2008 11:13:00 AM

I tried Banixx, a new product. This stuff works! And, it does not sting or smell!!!

3/5/2008 11:09:05 AM

To prevent rain rot on legs, wash, rinse, apply baby oil to hair. Also loosens scabs!

3/5/2008 10:40:28 AM

Keep him clean and allow time for dry-out after turn-out

3/5/2008 10:39:26 AM

In the south, rain rot is a recurring problem. With healthy horses it resolves itself .

3/5/2008 10:36:32 AM

Tried everything.Rubbing bag balm on affected areas has worked best.Only a couple of spots/year now.

3/5/2008 10:35:18 AM

My vet made a custom mix of Burrows (cortozone) solution, Gentocin and Lidocaine which works great.

3/5/2008 9:47:35 AM

We get 11-14" of precipitation in a wet year and the humidity is usually below 20%.

3/5/2008 9:44:37 AM

poper diet and mineral balance

3/5/2008 9:39:24 AM

3/4/2008 10:07:45 PM

i rescued a horse that had it, i used a soap with tea tree oil and cleared it up easy

3/4/2008 10:06:28 PM

I'm not in an area of the country where this is likely to be a problem.

3/4/2008 10:00:47 PM

inspect often, treat early for best results

3/4/2008 9:59:15 PM

My horses are all aimed at the show pen, only out in good weather and stalled at night.

3/4/2008 9:49:13 PM

came with it when we bought them, never again with us

3/4/2008 9:40:40 PM

Try to keep dry, don't groom out tufts until they are loose

3/4/2008 9:34:44 PM

My mare used to get it every spring, but then we dug a trench through our property to bring down wat

MTG- best ever for rain rot- one or two applications max

3/4/2008 9:14:05 PM

ARes, my rescued Arabian, had rain rot that I treated with an iodine solution.

3/4/2008 9:08:55 PM

listerine and baby oil combo; put in spray bottle or rub on with a a rag, don't wash out

3/4/2008 9:08:15 PM

Nolvasan shampoo with a good scrub. Towel dry. Keep horse drie and clean. eventually heals. No m

3/4/2008 9:08:08 PM

3/4/2008 9:07:17 PM

My mare had one mild episode treated with Povidine iodine scrub and was clear within 7-10 days

3/4/2008 9:02:17 PM

I live in Colorado so its not rainy at all here, so luckily no rain rot problems at all here!

3/4/2008 8:47:36 PM

I apply betadine and the skin problem goes away.

3/4/2008 8:40:50 PM

If u brush your horses on a regular basis it reduses the instances

3/4/2008 8:35:59 PM

MTG and Crudzapper work the best. We live in FLA and battle the rain rot often with thoroughbreds.

3/4/2008 8:35:19 PM

Once, ten years ago. Since then, I make sure to fluff up his coat after it has dried.

3/4/2008 8:34:56 PM

It seems to have a genetic property. My youngsters that usually get it are o/o a mare that is prone

3/4/2008 8:31:37 PM

Vinegar

3/4/2008 8:30:56 PM

I bought a Arab mare that had rain rot. I used a special shampoo the vet gave me and got rid of it.

3/4/2008 8:30:07 PM

When I was in SE FL but not since I moved to NW SC 10 years ago.

3/4/2008 8:27:13 PM

cleared it for my horse, was Malaseb (sp?) shampoo I got from my small animal vet. follow directions

3/4/2008 8:18:23 PM

White Lightning gel from Grand Circuit took care of it in 3 applications! Awesome stuff!

3/4/2008 8:10:42 PM

We take in rescues, most have it, wash in Betadine scrub and spray with show sheen mixed w/ Fugison

3/4/2008 8:10:20 PM

I have 3 horses & none have ever had rain rot.

3/4/2008 8:00:56 PM

Just once in his 32 years!

3/4/2008 7:55:12 PM

Try to keep coat scrupulously clean especially in winter, treat immediately with iodine wash

3/4/2008 7:49:29 PM

But he battles scratches and lymphangitis.

3/4/2008 7:34:58 PM

We groom every other day at least a curry comb to keep the long winter hair fluffy and loose.

3/4/2008 7:33:54 PM

I keep my horse inside during incrimate weather

3/4/2008 7:27:07 PM

It's a frustrating occurance every year on both hind legs

3/4/2008 7:26:32 PM

I've found that Eqyss Micro Tek works great on any skin condition.

3/4/2008 7:22:20 PM

Ugh! I hate that stuff!

3/4/2008 7:22:00 PM

I do believe it is an internal problem that makes rain rot occur. Probiotics work great for this

3/4/2008 7:15:38 PM

when we lived on the west coast it was a problem...a barn and blankets were a necessity!

3/4/2008 7:14:19 PM

I used a rain sheet to keep him dry and brushed his coat with a dog brush.

3/4/2008 7:11:06 PM

Shepleys MTG

3/4/2008 7:10:44 PM

Shapley's MTG works very well.

3/4/2008 6:58:43 PM

3/4/2008 6:58:39 PM

USE SHRINERS AND/OR ATHLETES FOOT POWDER

3/4/2008 6:51:22 PM

But they've had mud fever and Magic Stuff by EQUItelligent it the best. It works on rain rot too.

3/4/2008 6:51:06 PM

I have more than one horse. Some get it and others don't

3/4/2008 6:47:45 PM

Just once when we rescued him he had a bad case of it we treated it with iodine and water solution

3/4/2008 6:47:07 PM

I use diluted nolvasan and rub it into the spots (no rinsing). This clears it up in about 10 days

3/4/2008 6:46:39 PM

Thoroughly groom the area and then brush on a 50/50 mix of betadine and water for several days.

3/4/2008 6:46:13 PM

thankfully, no

3/4/2008 6:45:17 PM

3/4/2008 6:36:54 PM

bleach and water spray on grooming tools and or betidine on rain rot areas

3/4/2008 6:33:58 PM

groom your horse often, washing off any accumulated mud and use betadyne on any suspicious spots

3/4/2008 6:29:55 PM

Nolvasan cleared the problem best for me.

3/4/2008 6:21:06 PM

I have bought a horse with rain rot and it was horrible to fix

3/4/2008 6:20:11 PM

No, we live in Texas, please send some rain this way

3/4/2008 6:17:54 PM

bring them in at night to dry out

3/4/2008 6:05:47 PM

Had 1 case: used Captan on it. healed in a week.

3/4/2008 6:04:01 PM

i started keeping a waterproof sheet on him until his skin completely healed

3/4/2008 5:57:25 PM

I provide a shelter and it doesn't rain much in CA

3/4/2008 5:55:47 PM

betadine scrubs

3/4/2008 5:53:18 PM

some horses seem to get it easier than others. Much less since feeding horse shine

3/4/2008 5:52:17 PM

don't keep horses in western washington

3/4/2008 5:44:01 PM

It is imperative to keep your horse clean & dry-RESPONSIBILITY comes first

3/4/2008 5:41:14 PM

Just 1 out of 3 horses had it!

3/4/2008 5:34:08 PM

A handful of GROUND FLAX daily will keep the coat and skin healthy even during winter weather.

3/4/2008 5:22:49 PM

Florida Weather :-(

3/4/2008 5:17:21 PM

If your horse has rain rot, your not paying enough attention and not grooming your horse properly.

3/4/2008 5:16:42 PM

Take proper care of your horse.

3/4/2008 4:55:17 PM

It responded quickly to treatment and is not a serious problem.

3/4/2008 4:34:22 PM

It's a constant battle for us - Microtek gel has given us the best results so far

3/4/2008 3:50:01 PM

shapley's works best!

3/4/2008 3:14:05 PM

Good grooming will prevent this.

3/4/2008 2:59:54 PM

no, but 1 I bought had it, used Lotrimin jock itch cream twice daily & it cleared right up

3/4/2008 2:09:33 PM

Healing Tree Products Tclenz shampoo

3/4/2008 1:35:21 PM

part of living in the southeast!!

3/4/2008 1:00:31 PM

Micro Tec works well - Always Wash the brushes you use on that horse between groomings

3/4/2008 12:29:13 PM

betadine scrub when we can bathe him, and betadine solution to leave on when we can't bathe him.

3/4/2008 12:12:06 PM

spraying/putting listerine (or off brand) on it helps kill the bacteria that cause it, so it clears

3/4/2008 11:33:47 AM

If you keep your horse groomed you shouldn't have that problem right?

3/4/2008 10:35:48 AM

Wet South Florida, we're lucky our horses don't mildew!

3/4/2008 10:28:58 AM

Banixx is the best, spray liberally against the direction of the hair, 2-3 days, it's magic!!

3/4/2008 10:27:17 AM

Use EQYSS Microtek Shampoo and Microtek Spray. It works in humid climates !

3/4/2008 10:20:07 AM

Only seemed to happen when he was a 0 to 2 years old. Now, no problem.

3/4/2008 9:30:49 AM

autumn. Nasty!

3/4/2008 9:25:55 AM

Not Yet

3/4/2008 9:21:02 AM

Brush hair backwards, spray with Banixx, keep horse dry.

3/4/2008 9:20:14 AM

regular grooming helps, also keeping the horse blanketed

3/4/2008 9:16:27 AM

Was with iodine soap daily to rid of the rot, and dry the horse off when he comes in out of the rain
