SUMMER ECZEMA IN HORSES

During the summer season, we unfortunately see frequent attacks by gnats, especially at dusk in the early morning and evening. This can cause allergic reactions in horses, leading to itching, skin irritation, and more serious consequences such as wounds and skin damage. A variety of remedies help here; blankets, bringing horses in and out of the stable, and using grooming products to repel gnats and alleviate this itching and irritation.

ITCHING AND SKIN IRRITATION

SYMPTOMS OF SUMMER ECZEMA IN HORSES

Summer eczema caused by gnat attacks typically manifests as numerous microbites around the withers, tail root, and under the belly/genital area, where the skin is thin and devoid of hair. Gnats easily access these areas, feeding on blood and leaving behind their venom, which can trigger an allergic reaction in horses, leading to itching and skin irritation.

It’s crucial to find the right combination of remedies to both prevent and treat the consequences of gnat attacks. See below how Bacxitium can help alleviate itching and skin irritations.

CARE FOR SUMMER ECZEMA AND ITS CONSEQUENCES

Treatment with Bacxitium Protection & Repair Gelspray is simple:
  1. Remove dirt and other foreign particles.
  2. Spray the gelspray formulation in 1-2 layers on the skin so a thin film is visible.
  3. Spray 1-3 times daily as long as gnats are present, preferably before letting the horse out and when the horse returns to the stable.
With Bacxitium Protection & Repair Gelspray, you can alleviate the itching and skin irritation that occurs after gnat attacks. The spray does not prevent gnat attacks but can assist your horse after the damage has been done. Summer eczema in horses might seem minor initially, but it can lead to significant problems if not treated correctly and promptly. By disinfecting and protecting the affected area with Bacxitium Protect & Repair Gelspray, you can help your horse recover and avoid larger wounds and abrasions. If you do not see improvement in itching and skin irritation, do not hesitate to consult your veterinarian.
