For summer fever:
Apply the lotion generously to the problem areas. Using the spout cap, you can easily apply the lotion between the hairs of the tail and mane. Use the lotion at the beginning of the season as a preventive measure to prevent summer itch and to prevent chafing. Usually 2-4 times a week is sufficient. Start applying immediately at the first symptoms. If you start later, that is also no problem. Apply the lotion to sensitive skin for an immediate calming effect and to support the natural recovery of the skin. Apply the lotion to the problem areas at least once a day for the first 14 days. If necessary, twice a day. As soon as the sensitivity of the skin decreases or disappears and the skin has recovered, you can reduce the use to 3-4 times a week and later possibly to 1-2 times a week. When the itch increases again, for example on warm, windless days, temporarily increase the frequency again. The lotion is very mild and can be used on the most sensitive parts of the skin. Always test the lotion on one spot first to be sure before applying it to all problem areas. Avoid contact with mucous membranes and eyes.
The lotion is easy to use, very mild, and safe to use. Wearing gloves is not necessary when applying the lotion.
For grating:
- Itching and scabs on the lower legs can be caused by a mite infection. Therefore, always consult a vet first to rule this out. If mites are found, the vet will advise you to wash the legs with a special anti-mite shampoo. Once mites have been ruled out / killed, you can start treatment with Skincalmin Relief Lotion.
- If necessary, cut or shave some hair and apply the lotion generously to the skin daily. Massage well.
- Once the scabs come off, you can carefully remove them. Do not remove scabs that do not come off on their own. Make sure you do not cause new open wounds!
- Continue treating with the lotion daily until all scabs have disappeared.
- Prevent new spots from forming by continuing to treat the skin with the lotion once every 3-14 days.
The development of rasp can be related to reduced resistance, deficiencies of certain vitamins & minerals or an excess of waste products in the body. In frugal breeds, an excess of starch and sugars can worsen the rasp. Therefore, do not only treat the rasp externally but also take a critical look at your horse's ration. - Vitalbix Horse Feed is a responsible choice for these horses in terms of supplementing the roughage (low in starch & sugars, balanced vitamin & mineral content).
- Omega-3 fatty acids from linseed have an anti-inflammatory effect. Vitalbix Linseed Oil + Vitamin E can be supportive in the treatment of rasp and summer fever.
- You can help the body to eliminate waste products by adding herbs such as nettle, cleavers, dandelion or a special detox supplement.
