How can I treat rain rot in my horse?

Answer by  mtlady1943 (144)

It is important to catch this condition early before sores develop. To treat rain rot bathe your horse with an antifungal shampoo, rinse thoroughly. Then reapply lightly to affected areas and leave it on. Continue this treatment on a regular basis until all symptoms are gone.

Gently loosen the scabs with application of warm wash cloths, and remove. Allowing air to the wound will help speed healing. You can put Listerene, betadine, Micro-Tek, or an iodine based wash on the affected area as well.
