Kelly arrived at SAFE with some significant dermatitis on her legs, with her hind limbs being the most severely affected. She had rubbed patches completely raw from itching, and had developed some sore spots on her fetlocks underneath all those lovely draft horse feathers. We had our vet out to look at her and do an intake exam, where she developed a treatment plan for Kelly that involved daily application of Quadritop on the affected areas around her fetlocks, and Equiderma lotion on the sore areas on her hocks. Weekly, we were to bathe her legs with a special soap the vet gave us.
The results after beginning the treatment were quick. Kelly was visibly less itchy, and her sores began to heal. At a follow-up appointment, our vet agreed she was making good progress. We will continue with the treatment until the dermatitis is completely gone, but it sure feels great to see such a notable difference already!
