A Veterinarian developed and proven treatment for "Scratches", also referred to as: dew poisoning, foot rot, rain rot and facial dermatitis
This skin condition of the horse's foot affects the white pasterns and heels. Symptoms include: scabby pasterns or scabby heels with oozing, smelly areas that are cracked and swollen. Lameness is often present and the feet are very tender to touch. Horses with white faces or muzzles may also have "Scratches" (facial dermatitis) with the same sore, scabby, cracked, oozy areas on the nose and around the mouth. This can be confused with sunburn. Many causes have been associated with this dermatitis, including: microorganisms, allergies, photosensitivity, nutrition, irritants, soil or bedding. "Scratches" tends to persist and to reoccur frequently, especially in a horse with white feet and face.
Inconsistent and unsuccessful treatments are numerous, costly and often hazardous. They may include: soaking, scraping, wrapping, scrubbing, antibiotic and hydrocortisone wraps; DMSO, dewormers, zinc oxide ointment, iodine, chlorine bleach and other products alone or in combination; including vinegar, honey, cayenne pepper, motor oil, axle grease, colloidal silver, sauerkraut and many "natural" products, "healing oils" or industrial remedies! Most of these are eventually unsuccessful and can be irritating or harmful to the horse and to the handler.
