Re: [RC] OT: Sunburn/Hair loss on horse's face? - Jennifer Thompson

I have quite a few people recommend Desitin for my poor guy's nose.  I
did try that a couple of months ago, but had the same experience as
John.  I think it was the strong odor.  He wouldn't eat or drink as long
as that stuff was on his nose.

Is there, and where can I get, odorless plain zinc oxide?  I think
Desitin has other stuff in it that accounts for the strong medicinal
smell.

Thanks,
Jennifer

But practice with it first. I put some on squeek's nose during a ride
(maybe 30 miles or so into a 50) and he stopped drinking/eating as a
result.  Just something new I think....
