Answer 1

M-T-G for rain-rot!

I use it all the time. Pick off the scab (as long as your horse will let you)....apply rain rot to the place where the scab was, and then it should go away.

As for electrolytes? can't say...never used it

Edit: Also please know that rain rot is NOT caused by rain..it's a fungal infection in the skin.

"The organism dermatophilus congolensis causes rain rot. dermatophilus congolensis is not a fungus. It is an actinomycetes, which behaves like both bacteria and fungi. Most people believe that the organism is present in soil, however, this has not been proven. The organism is carried on the horse, who has it in his skin. A horse who has this organism in his skin may or may not be affected. "

Try Endura Max, it is powder so you can use it in the horses water or in applesauce, etc. You can also buy electrolytes in tubes, like wormers and give it the same way as a wormer.
