Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

1. What are the most common causes of skin problems in horses? The most common causes of skin problems in horses include allergic reactions, parasites such as ticks and fleas, fungal infections such as ringworm, dermatitis caused by contact with irritants, and environmental factors such as moisture and poor hygiene.

2. How do I know if my horse's skin problem requires a veterinary evaluation? If the skin problem is persistent, severe, or does not improve with home remedies, you should contact a veterinarian. Signs such as extensive wounds, signs of infection (such as pus or severe redness), or if your horse shows signs of systemic disease (such as fever or weight loss) are alarming and require professional evaluation.

3. Can HypoClean help treat ringworm in horses? Yes, HypoClean can help clean and care for ringworm skin, but it is important to use it as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

If your horse has extremely sensitive skin or reacts negatively to the product, discontinue use and contact your veterinarian for alternative treatment options.
