Is it a good idea to put MTG too? The entire field where my horse lives has it, so it may be a losing battle, but I am determined to get it somewhat under control. These weeks of wet weather have not helped! Is it ok to put meds and then a fly sheet over rain rot? Help.

Is the meadow on fire? Posts: 1,675 Group: Members Member #547 Joined: January 22, 2007	Wash well with Betadine Scrub and let stand for 10 minutes before rinsing. Pick off as many scabs as you can. Then apply this scab softener Recipe 1 1/2 oz bottle tincture of iodine 1 16 oz bottle of peroxide 1 16 oz bottle of mineral oil Combine all ingredients and do not close the lid on container. It will expand and explode. Apply to all affected areas and leave on over night. Then lather rinse and repeat for weeks. Rain rot stinks.

There's a product called "Well Horse" - all natural ingredients from the rain forests that will work.. I know it's available at www.uniquelyhorse.com
