Extreme Veteran Posts: 429 Location: Oxford, Kansas	I just picked up a severely emaciated mare to rehab but she is covered in rain rot and it's way to cold now for a bath.. Ideas on what I can do to help her? I do have her started on Forco but doubt that will be enough to completely heal her up..

Expert Posts: 1611	Calm Coat http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=30e07b33-7b6a-11d5-a... Any skin issues from gunk to rain rot sores or serve bug bite allergies I have cleared up with calm coat. Plus no nasty smell, it smells clean and fresh. It is rather oily but no need to rinse it off and is actually a good thing to have on winter blankets because of its microbial properties. Edited by astreakinchic 2014-11-06 8:08 AM

I Need a Xanax! Posts: 2774	2 tablespoons per day of plain old iodized salt in their feed every day....rain rot will be gone in 2 weeks. Has worked for me every time. Cost 47 cents at Walmart. Must be iodized salt...not regular salt.

Expert Posts: 3782 Location: Gainesville, TX	There's a feed through antifungal and/or antibiotics for rain rot. That will help immensely. I would also think, if you can't give her a bath, some of the oil based suggestions on here that will kill off the fungus/bacteria will help tremendously. You won't have to give her a bath and the oil can loosen up the yucky yellow scabby stuff and kill the little bugs. I do know most cases are anaerobic so getting under the scabs is important.
