Location: newalla,Ok. | Equaide is wonderful!!! I recently had a gelding kick our cable fence and ended up with his back legs woven through it. I t cut and burnt the hide off from the top of his legs to his ankles. It has been quite an ordeal to heal as he took off all the hide in his hock joint. I tried Underwoods and he got proudflesh so I started researching and thought I would try the Equaide. My friends that seen his legs before and now can't believe the difference. Equaide is an antibacterial, antiimflamtory and the flys stay away. I would give it a try... plus I called and talked with the people that make it and he told me that if i keep using it all of his hair should come back with no white hair and very little scaring.

What does the baking powder do?
keeps the proud flesh to a minimum.
OP - I can not say enough positive things about using Underwoods. I will throw my vote in there to use it too!! |

Location: Texas | I tried (unsuccessfully) to email a pic to Total Performance to post for me. No luck, but thanks TP. I washed it off twice today and spraying with Vetericyn. It was oozie. Should I keep washing it? I don't think the Vetericyn will help with the flies. |

Location: In Husker Land | We dealt with this all last summer. But was on the hip of my one mare. We used a fly sheet all summer..is this where a neck fly sheet would work? Lots and lots of hydro therapy and we used horsemans aloe cream and blu cote spray. Was a long long summer..let me see if I can attach some pictures of what it looked like..

Location: Texas | Another vote for Underwoods and baking powder.
That wound will heal with a tiny scar if you use it. I had a wild filly jump a t-post fence and rip herself open all down her side to her belly and back up. I used Underwoods and baking powder and she ended up with about a two inch scar.

That is ugly looking. My husband doesn't want to keep washing it because he thinks it will keep it from scabbing up.
Hydrotherapy works wonders. I would be cold hosing at least once a day twice if you can. Here is my geldings leg from several years ago. He tore a chunk out while we were on our honeymoon. I cold hosed it morning and night. I applied corona around the outside and where it would drain to keep it from scalding his skin and to keep the edges from drying out. I then covered the open area with tri care. I had to let it melt a little with his body heat and then I could spread it across the whole area. I'm a big believer in NOT letting it scab over if it is deep as horses heal from the inside out. There is no scar at all and I had to look back at these pics to even remember what leg it was because there is no way to tell now.
