Animalintex is a medicated poultice pad used on horses for hoof abscesses, puncture wounds and bruising, applied hot to draw or cold to soothe. It is a single dressing, so budget for daily changes over several days on an abscess — and have your vet or farrier find and open the abscess first, because a poultice cannot drain what has not been located.
Sold as one poultice dressing. Part of the Animalintex range.
Key points
- Single poultice pad — Trim to size for a hoof or wound; the plastic backing goes on the outside.
- Hot or cold — Soak in hot water to draw, or use cold to cool bruising and swelling, following the pack directions.
- Veterinary medicine — Contains boric acid as the active ingredient; read the leaflet before use.
How to use
Follow the directions on the pack. Secure with a bandage or hoof boot, change regularly and seek veterinary advice if lameness or discharge does not improve.
