Treatment of an unidentified Rheumatic Fever-Like Illness

November 21, 2002. Myra was a 12-year-old pleasure horse that fell victim to a disease that her veterinarian could not identify, but was viewed as similar to Strangles. The horse had lost 400 pounds, its ribs were quite evident, and it generally appeared unhealthy. The wounds in the photo covered approximately 60% of its body. Its skin would appear to rot and fall off the flesh, exposing underlying, unhealthy tissue color and composition. The resulting large pockets were described by her owner to be as deep as a finger.

Not surprisingly, the veterinarian recommended that the horse be destroyed. Myra's owner contacted Lucid Med Tec II and received TopicAid® Spray for Equines. The horse was washed with water prior to each application of the TopicAid® Spray for Equines. Myra's owner simply sprayed the affected areas twice a day for 3 weeks. A total of 8 ounces of TopicAid® Spray for Equines was used over a 21-day treatment period.

December 14, 2002. In an amazing turnaround for Myra, just 24 days after starting treatment with TopicAid® Spray for Equines, the afflicted areas had returned to a healthy red color and the skin appeared to be strengthening and re-attaching itself to the underlying flesh. The wound was rapidly closing, with no sign of proud flesh formation, scarring or loss of pigment to the hair. Myra started to eat soon after treatment began, and had re-gained 200 pounds at the time of the photo.

The owner subsequently reported the horse's complete recovery. Myra's owner also reports other success with minor scrapes, puncture wounds, bites and incision marks, as well as bacterial and fungal growths.
