Colic
I live in a very hot climate so it is easy for my horses to get dehydrated or consume too much dust and sand, so they can colic easily. Here are the stuff I use for when my horses colic.
Banemine is so important! I like to keep it on hand just incase. I also prefer to have the oral banemine because my horses do not like injections and it is easier just to do the oral.
BANAMINE® (flunixin meglumine paste)
I always give my horses a tube of electrolytes when I see them acting colicy, I find that it helps them to be hydrated for when they won't drink water.
Farnam Elite Apple Flavor Electrolyte Equine Supplement Paste, 60cc Syringe
I love this stuff! I give it on my horses to prevent them getting dehydrated.
First Companion EQU-Dex Cherry Flavor Electrolyte Horse Supplement, ...
I like having a thermometer on hand for colics, because I can quickly check their tempeture to see if they have a flu or something else going on.
Producer's Pride Digital Veterinary Thermometer, Fahrenheit
I love having a stethoscope on hand for checking if they have gut sounds.
Producer's Pride Dual-Head Veterinary Stethoscope
Injury
My oldest mare is in rehab for a suspensory ligament, so here are the stuff I use for when she is a bit sore, or her leg is puffy.
I love using Liniment because it helps with inflammation and swelling, also with soreness. It helps my mare with a lot more comfortable and I also use it if my horses had a big day of work and I don't want them to get stiff and sore.
Farnam Vetrolin Horse Liniment Concentrate, 32 oz.
I also love using Liniment gel because it's fast and easy to do, I like using it on my young gelding who isn't the biggest fan of having water down his legs. He loves hurt himself so I just put this where he is swollen and it makes him feel a lot bet...
DuMOR Horse Liniment Gel, 15 oz.
Cuts/Scrapes
I have delt with tons of cuts and scrapes, so here are the stuff I use to help it to not get infected.
Love this stuff! I've used it for years and it has worked very well.
Corona Multi-Purpose Horse Ointment, 14 oz.
This also works super good for cuts.
DuMOR 7 oz. Horse Wound and Skin Cream
Love this stuff! It helps to stop bleeding if there is any, and helps to keep flys and ants out of the cut.
Farnam Wonder Dust Animal Wound Powder, 4 oz.
This is amazing stuff! It is great for hard to reach places, also if your horse does not want you to touch their cut.
Silver Honey Rapid Wound Repair Spray Gel, 8 oz.
Eye Medical
My youngest gelding gets hybronema around his eyes, so this is what I use for if he has a puffy eye or he has a hybronema.
Great stuff! I like to use the spray so I don't have to touch the eye in order to get it on.
Manna Pro Microcynah Pink Eye Spray, 16 oz.
This works like a dream! I just put some ointment on my finger and put it on my geldings eye.
Terramycin Ophthalmic Ointment, 3.5 g
I find that the most helpful thing for hybronemas is that I deworm them once a week and it gets rid of it within a couple weeks. My vet recommended this and it works super well!
