I got a trial sized bottle of MTG because my show horse has a bald spot on his dock. The bottle says not to let the applied area be in the sun because it could burn them. Can I wrap it in vet wrap to prevent that?
i don't see any real problem with it unless your horse is in direct sun all day long...i guess it would be the equivalent of putting sun tan oil on you. (although your horse might smell like a piece of walking bacon )
when they say that, they mean sunburn. so it would be a lot easier for you if you just waited later in the day to put on the MTG... any time after 3pm is a lot cooler then noon, which is on average the hottest time of the day.
I used MTG on my boy's tail dock too. I just always kept a light sheet or fly sheet on him with a tail flap. He's also white with pink skin back there, so I didn't want to risk it!
I've never worried about putting it on in the sunshine. Ours stay in the shade during the hottest part of the day. I've never had any problems with it sunburning. Only used it on black/dark horses though.
My filly Shiloh has had an allergic reaction to something out in the pasture. She had nasty welts all down her legs, chest and neck. I have been giving her feed on antihisamine and dousing her with MTG its really helping. Stopped her from itching herself so badly.
Gotta love that MTG
