I'm dealing with a horse (not Scout) who is really rubbing his tail badly. He has been recently dewormed with a product that handles pinworms, so I highly doubt that that is the problem. His tail is rubbed bald, and is scaly and dandruffy, so my current assumption is that he's itching from the dry skin. Once the weather breaks to the point that water will stay comfortably liquid his sheath will be cleaned in case that has any bearing on the issue. He does have some very raw patches on his hindquarters around his tail from the rubbing.
I have put MTG on his bald tail where the scaliness is the worst. According to their website MTG will do something for the itching sensation. My question is basically, How careful do I need to be about getting the MTG on the really raw areas? Will it burn, or otherwise be an issue?
Are there any other topical products that will kill the itch without burning? How about other anti-equine-dandruff products that don't need to be rinsed? I don't have access to running water in the winter, hence the concern about rinsing.
