Description
A mare with undiagnosed Cushing's disease presented with a long coat, highly-sensitive areas of dry, dead skin and multiple areas of skin infection with pus (see two photos at left). Banixx™ Wound and Hoof Care was used in a whole body treatment for 17 consecutive days on the horse to aid in the recovery of the extensive skin infection. At the same time, the Cushing's disease was treated with appropriate medication. The result – a successful recovery from infection and re-growth of the coat (see photo, far right). Banixx™ has been very effective in clearing skin infections in horses due to dermatophilosis ( rain rot, rain scald, rain sores, mud fever ), dermatophytosis ( ringworm ), and pastern dermatitis (greasy heel, scratches, mud fever, cracked heels) . In addition to treating your horse or pet's skin infections, take the time to learn what to do to avoid a recurrence of that particular skin infection and follow those guidelines, too. Learn more about skin conditions . If you suspect your horse has Cushing's disease, contact your veterinarian. While Cushing's disease has been recognized for more than 70 years, only recently are there improved diagnostic and treatment options. A horse with Cushing's disease can live longer and enjoy a better quality of life. Learn more about Cushing's disease. If needed, first flush the area with plain water to clean out any debris. Then, just let Banixx™ go to work. Banixx™ stays "active" for several hours so make no attempt to wipe or hose it off.
