Did you know that Animalintex®, the world renowned multi-layered poultice and wound dressing from Robinson Animal Healthcare can be used to treat a wide range of conditions?
It is highly absorbent, extremely versatile and can be applied either as a wet, hot or cold poultice, or as a dry dressing to suit the needs of the injury.
As a hot wet poultice Animalintex® can be used to treat the following conditions:
- Bruises
- Infected dirty wounds
- Cracked heels
- Mud fever
- Laminitis
- Boils
- Abscesses
- Puncture of the foot
- Sandcrack
- Thrush
- Infected corns
- Bruised sole
- Seedy toe
- Contusions
- Quittor abscesses
- Removing thorns
A cold wet poultice can help ease:
- Sprains, strains and sore shins
- Capped hocks and elbows
- Splints
- Laminitis
Use dry Animalintex® for pressure padding after training, for slight strains, windgalls, and thoroughpin and can also be applied directly to a wound as an absorbent dry dressing.
The dressing contains Boric Acid BP, an active ingredient that minimises infection and promotes healing, and tragacanth, a natural poulticing agent that draws infection out of the wound.
Animalintex® is the original and only licensed absorbent poultice on the market for the treatment of canine and equine wounds and is sold as a 41cm x 21cm dressing, which can be cut to the size and shape needed.
Animalintex® retails at around £5.50.
