Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Rain Rot Treatment

My horses had that last year. Best treatment I did was get a medicated 
shampoo from my vet.. It's red, but unfortunately no name. Just Fungal 
Shampoo. It worked great. The vet sold me a 16 oz bottle and I  lathered 
Tanna up with about 1/3 of the bottle. That did the trick and no more 
rain rot. I used several other things, can't remember them all right 
now, and nothing worked like the shampoo. I also used Horesman's Dream 
Fung-A-Way that I got at my local Tractor Supply Company, but that 
didn't seem to help much either.

Course I also was able to move my horses to my own property instead of 
boarding them. I actually shampooed Tanna after I moved him. Change of 
environment probably had something to do with why there was no 
recurrance. I'll have to see what happens this year.
