My horse is injured. What can I do?

Question

She became entangled in a lead rope which lead to some bad rope burn on the back of her right leg, just above the hoof. This was on sunday. So far I have been rinsing any dirt off of it and applying blue lotion and a a wound bug repellant at least once a day. Is this what I should do?

Answer 1

Clean it really good with  betadine. Then apply an antibiotic lotion and wound bug repellant.  Keep an eye on it and feel it.  If it feels hot that could be a sign of infection.
