I think my mare has acquired scratches. I've tried to combat it, with little success. I cleaned the scabs off after applying nitrofurazone for a few hours. I used iodine to clean it, and applied calamine lotion. I reapplied the nitrofurazone the next day. It has since spread. I switched to using vasoline mixed with iodine, which seems to keep it from cracking, and my mare is more comfortable with the area moist than dry. I'm a little concerned, as winter is approaching at lightening speed (supposed to snow tomorrow). She is in foal, and I'm positive she picked this up at the stallion station. Help! Should I try Desitin? I've also heard a mixture of panacure/DMSO/nitrofurazone works. I'm leaving it unwrapped, but every day I have to clean it, obviously because the moist area is a dirt magnet.
