Sometime between 8 am this morning and 2 pm this afternoon my horse scraped a raw place on his side. A lunch guest noticed it while we were out chatting with the boys. I washed it with my pine tar shampoo and hydroed it for a little while, and noticed it was swollen, kind of jellylike, and there were two red marks distanced like fang marks. I am wondering if he got a glancing snake bite then rubbed the spot on a tree till it was raw?? He seems fine. I put some betadine on it and gave him a dose of banamine.
I will hydro it again in the morning. Any other suggestions? I thought I might buy some Vetericyn tomorrow to spritz it. I should keep that product in my first aid supplies.
