Dogs seem to have the biggest problems with hot spots, allergies, irritations, wounds. We found this to be a very successful topical spray, especially for hot spots. Hot spots are real common. A lot of times they start out the size of a dime and quickly become the size of a dinner plate. The best thing we find with the Vetericyn is it is non-irritating; there does not seem to be any side effects and no contraindications. Whenever we use steroids we always worry about the animal licking the steroids and developing some serious side effects. And if the animal is sensitive to a certain antibiotic and we use those topical antibiotics, and the animal licks it, it can develop allergies. With Vetericyn we see no allergies. In fact, with the 24 bottles I have used I have seen no side effects; all positive things. Steroids to some extent suppress healing. But with Vetericyn we get the anti-inflammatory effects without the irritation. So we kind of get the best of both worlds from what I’ve observed.

Vetericyn was brought to me by some friends about a year ago. This horse got in a fight with another mare where you see exposed bone. The recommendation was to put the horse down. Now we use this “oxygen in a bottle” which makes it a lot more cost effective.
This horse had blunt force trauma that collapsed her frontal maxillary nasal sinuses. We can use Vetericyn to lavage nasal cavity and sinuses. We can use it because if it splashes in the eye or is inhaled there is no irritating reaction. There really isn’t any aspect of horse care that we haven’t utilized Vetericyn for. The ability to treat the animal successfully has gone way up with a very low complication rate because it is so easy to use.

This is Bud. I noticed some hot spots starting on his hip. The first one was fairly large before we caught it. I use Vetericyn on my horses with really good results. So I started using Vetericyn on Bud’s hot spots. As you can see on Day 1,the flesh is pretty raw and angry looking. By Day 7 we could really tell a difference. Here at Day 13 you can tell we had great results. Usually hot spots take a really long time to heal and sometimes they are almost impossible to get rid of. What I like is that it didn’t sting or burn the wound when I sprayed it on, so Bud didn’t mind having it sprayed on his hot spots.

This is our 2008 ABRA World Champion Halter H stallion. We started using Vetericyn on February 8, 2009 on the jowl of this stallion. He had a grapefruit size abscess. It actually compromised the inner workings of his jaw. You could actually see into the jaw. All tissue inside the jaw was compromised and within 30 days it basically completely healed with a small scab.

He’s taken the outside hock and just rubbed and thrashed on the trailer and caught it on a piece of trim and it looked as though he’d been hit with a hatchet. This horse severely damaged his right hock in the trailer, exposing the bones and the joints. This was a potentially life threatening injury because the joints were exposed. Being the true skeptic that I am and my Missouri roots, I’m doctoring this horse for about 3 or 4 days and everything is looking pretty good. He’s healing. But it was hard to relate that by simply spraying him several times a day I was actually doing him any good. It’s hard to train yourself to know that you’re actually doing any good — which is the hardest part of the product. I wish I had some before and after shots because if you’d seen the before, you’d really appreciate where we are today.

Shoulder Wound
Category: Equine
He’s two years old and very mischievous. Approximately 14 – 15 days ago I turned him out to pasture and he tried to go through the fence on me. He’s got a wound on his front right shoulder where I was able to run my thumb in the hole up past my knuckle. I started him on the Vetericyn immediately and within 5 days the hole was filled in and now it’s just a matter of the skin growing in back over the wound. He was swollen from his shoulder all the way down to his ankle; solid, straight. You could not see his knee or his joint anything. In a matter of 2 – 3 days all the swelling was gone and he was completely sound on that leg again. So as far as I’m concerned, Vetericyn is the only thing I will use on any of my wounds ever again because I have never had a wound heal this quickly or cleanly. I work in the movie industry as a stunt woman and I will definitely recommend Vetericyn.

Certainly in a mixed practice like we have here we even have exotics. I would not be afraid to use Vetericyn. I remember I had one iguana I had come in with lamp burns that was too close to the lamp and had some burns on the skin from that and it helped that immensely to allow that area to heal.

Other Uses
Category: Equine
I found some good uses for Vetericyn here in the training barn. For instance, cinches and girths shared amongst different horses throughout the day you can get cinch rot and different fungi and scratches going on. So what I’ll do a couple of times a day is I’ll take the Vetericyn is spray the cinch. I’ll spray underneath my blankets. It works as a preventative. I can spray my splint boots, the inside of your hoof boots, your basic splint boots. Now because I’ve used Vetericyn on my cinches and blankets, I don’t get the fungus or the scratches. You can see there is no lost hair, no fungus and no scratches near the cinch area of this horse. There are no saddle sores. Remember we ride several horses a day with the same tack. Blankets are being shared and sweat is passed. But we are eliminating any fungus by using Vetericyn on the tack itself.

Dryland Distmper

We came home and our horse had a bump of some kind. We called the vet and the vet looked at it and said it was Dryland Distemper. A friend of ours recommended Vetericyn. So we tried it. It seemed like it kept the wound clean and helped it heal faster. You can see the area. It was quite a big area and he’s healed up nicely as you can tell. One of the reasons why I like Vetericyn is that it’s non-toxic. You can get it on your hands, face. It won’t hurt your skin, it doesn’t burn. It can’t hurt your horse in any way. It just helps.

Dryland Distemper

We had a case of Dryland Distemper. We used the Vetericyn on his sore on his leg. Within a month we started to see results and clear up and now it’s almost gone. I like this product because I could use 2 – 5 times a day and it was easy to use. I just sprayed it on his sore. We saw results almost immediately. After about two weeks his sore began to shrink and dry up. Our vet was even surprised at how quickly the Vetericyn cleared up his Dryland. The application was simple and easy. We were able to spray directly on the wound and we didn’t have to worry about if he licked his wound or if it got in his mouth because it is non-toxic. It didn’t stain his coat at all. It was really nice to be able to spray it on.

I’ve been around horses all my life. For me using Vetericyn, there was very much a leap of faith involved. You don’t see it bubble and you don’t smell the iodine and you don’t see the yellow cream. But seeing is believing and the proof is in the results. I used it on a couple of tough cases and I never felt that I needed to switch therapies and try something else for a few days. It never gave me any doubt that it was working because I could see the improvement. One of the most serious infections is staph. If a horse nicks himself near the hoof, it can develop staph very easily. We can prevent staph by simply spraying Vetericyn on any of these little nicks and cuts they get anywhere. I use all the old standby products. Now I have replaced all of those with Vetericyn exclusively and don’t miss any of the old standby products.
