Equiderma Newsletter: Itchy Horse?

Almost all horses will suffer from symptoms of SWEET ITCH at some point in their lives.

Bring your horse instant relief from the misery of itching.

Symptoms can vary from mild to extreme, with some horses spending so much time trying to alleviate their itching that they become thin and stressed.

Sweet Itch is the layman's term for a hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to the saliva of biting insects. Their bites can spell real trouble for your horse, not to mention the reactions to the eggs and excrement they leave behind. The intense itchiness can cause self inflicted harm as your horse rubs away patches of hair, leaving the skin underneath raw and weeping. The allergy is most specific to the Culicoides fly, often called midge, sand gnat, or no-see-um, but black flies, deer flies and mosquitoes contribute to the problem as well.

HOW IS SWEET ITCH TREATED?

1. Bathe your horse with sulfate free Equiderma Neem Shampoo paying special attention to any affected areas. Our anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich shampoo helps soothe the skin and calms the itch while amplifying healing of the skin.

2. Following up with Equiderma Neem Conditioner adds an extra layer of soothing protection as the Neem, Castor Oil, Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E further amplify healing and calming of inflamed skin.

3. Treat: To immediately relieve itching and heal the secondary bacterial infection, apply Equiderma Skin Lotion daily until the skin is healed. If your horse is prone to this condition keep a good covering of skin lotion over the area to prevent reoccurrences.

4. Finish with Equiderma Neem & Aloe Herbal Horse Spray with nature's best ingredients like Neem, Aloe, Lemongrass, Citronella, Tea Tree, Lemon Peel, Eucalyptus, and Lavender essential oils.

"Equiderma is more than just a business. It's an opportunity to help an animal. It's about compassion. It's a way of connecting with people and helping them with the animals they love. It's about providing effective, reliable solutions. They say that all products are the same, but we say different.

Equiderma may not be able to solve all the world's problems, but when it comes to making a difference in your horse's care, there isn't much it can't do. It's about worrying less and enjoying your horse more. It's about peace of mind."
