Hair growth on scars/cuts?

Question

Okay... I have a little chestnut arabian show mare, who was recently moved to a new boarding facility. She has been turned out with the other horses lately and has gotten lots of scrapes and cuts! I have asked the barn owner ot not turn her out with the others, but...

I'm worried that these will scar and she won't grow the hair back....

She also has a couple scars that are a couple weeks old. Is there anything I can do to help the hair grow back on these?

Any tips are much appreciated!

Answer 1

There is also a product called Schreiner's...

Click on the link that says wound care...and you can see what this product can help with.  I used it for a HORRIBLE set of wounds a horse of mine received.  Only one area the size of a silver dollar scarred.  And this horse had wounds from nose to rump and up and down the legs.  All hair grew back the original color...and even the scar has hair scattered about in it.  I just quit using the solution before all the hair had grown back.

Answer 2

the hair will grow back just keep and eye on them and make sure they don't get infected..just be lucky you don't have a strawberry grey arab each scratch/cut mine gets stay that light chestnut when they heal  while the rest of him is turning grey so now you can tell every spot he has ever had a scratch on his body  

Answer 3

Have you ever heard of  RestoreAid made by Alpharma Equine products they also make extenda cool they run slightly on they pricey side but they do work they grow enough hair to cover the scar  

Answer 4

I love the ointment called "Corona". I used it on my horses any time they got a cut. My one horse actually had both of his front legs torn up enough to require stitches. We used that along with the ointment that the vet gave us to help infections and now you can't even tell that he cut himself up.

Answer 5

Lousing powder.  i like that stuff.  my horse rubs its fur out often.  i put that on and by the next day you see a big change.  i reccomend it.

Answer 6

You can use vaseline or whatever ointment you prefer.  the main thing is to keep the skin pliable and massage it a bit.  Hair follicles are scattered at different depths and although some may not produce hair, others will as long as the skin is pliable and circulation to the follicle is good.
