Re: [RC] Treatment for Scratches - Vicki Austin

Jeannie,    we had a mare a few years ago that started
to have scraches. I used the old tried and true
remadies ( azium powder, furicin mixture) plus the
(cattle wormer dmso, furicin mixture) and it contunued
to get worse. It got so bad it was bleeding.   I tried
everything the vets gave me, every mixture of putrid
stuff that they could conjour up, every sarve, wash,
scrub, wrap, sweat and nothing would work. This went
on almost a year, with it seeminly to get marginally
better and then flair up again.  I finally gave up and
said " I don't know what else to do so I will just
keep it dry"  I thought of what would be soothing for
me if that was happening to me so I put Gold Bond
(blue) on every day and just kept it dry.  Lo and
behold it dissapperaed!!!!  Now when I suspect she is
getting the greasy feeling in her heel area I put the
powder on and it goes away.  We haven't had a problem
with it ever again and it has been seven years since
she has had a problem with this.  So for me it is Gold
Bond (blue).  That is my remedy.  Hope this helps.
Vicki

I think my old retired QH mare may have
scratches.....I remember some conversation here
recently, and then low and behold....she started
with these tough crusty white bumps on her hind
legs...at first I thought it was mud chunks, but
they don't clean up easily and they are white
inside.....

Could someone please describe again the
scratches...and the treatment...

Thanks....
