Interesting... I should look into that.
Well, for the rain rot while it was warm, we bathed him as often as the weather would let us and i used the reccomended amount of shampoo... oh some kind... the shampoo's green and clear and gelly... good stuff though... and i dumped in Betadine Surgical Scrub as much as they told me too as well. I washed him head to toe, as well as directly applying Betadine to wear the rain rot was particularly bad. It cleared up nicely.
My horse is still insane, by the way, but we're working with him. It's helped a great deal.
The other thing I reccomend is Blue Kote. I LOVE this stuff. I'll use baby oil, soak the scabs, pull off the softened ones, whipe off the excess oil, let it dry up over about an hour, then go back and spray on Blue Kote. I can't tell you how much I love this stuff. My other gelding, Boo, is a goofball and decided "Gee, the ground is frozen, what a great time to start rolling! Oh crap, I ripped out chunks of my fur." Well, blue kote solved that problem in no time. Although they really should call it Purple Kote, it's purple, not blue!!!
Besides, it's kinda fun to humanely spray paint your horseys. Teehee!
