Treatment for Sun Burn

horse-sun-burn August 14, 2002. Rugby, a 14-year-old Pinto breed and polo horse owned by Terri Freeman of Flower Mound, Texas, was at a boarding facility when it was left out in the hot Texas sun too long and was badly sunburned over 75% of his body. Rugby's hair fell off, his skin blistered and dried out, and he could hardly move, walk or lay down. In some spots he had severe blisters on his skin.

The horse was brought into a barn and bathed with cool water. Once the horse had dried, TopicAid® Spray for Equines was simply sprayed on the affected areas (75% of his body) twice a day and allowed to penetrate, without covering or bandaging. This regimen was maintained for 3 weeks. During the application of the product, the horse appeared to be comforted by the application of TopicAid® Spray for Equines. The owner reported that its analgesic/anesthetic action helped immediately. After the first week of regular treatments, Rugby was able to lie down in the stall without any discomfort.
The redness of the sunburn dissipated, the sores began to heal and the hair started to grow back. TopicAid® treatment was continued regularly for the next two weeks twice a day.

September 4, 2002. After 21 days, Rugby was back to normal. All the blisters were gone and no semblance of sunburn was evident. Healthy tissue was covered by growing hair with no scarring. A total of 8 ounces of TopicAid® Spray for Equines was used during the 21-day period, with no adverse affects. The owner reported that the quantity of product used is minimal as compared to other products currently available.
