Anti-itch cream?

Prevention. thoroughly spray from tail end to top of tail with Ultrashield Black container Fly Spray.

@albwheeler An itch in your “bottom”? Oh dear. Spam reported.

My vet told me to use flea shampoo, to kill the bugs. Also to shampoo with a dandruff product. This helped a LOT. Beyond that, I’ve done the same things other posters suggested: Listerine (the original yellow) sprayed thoroughly (think soaking, I rubbed it in) twice daily, Desitin extra strength, fly spray around the entire area thoroughly. I’ve also used human anti-itch products.

Tea tree oil/cream works really well also.

Do horses get hemorrhoids?

Equishield IBH salve. It’s not cheap, but it works!

“Soothing topical anesthetic salve with antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Repels insects naturally.”

NOTE: Lidocaine will test at competitions. Last year a horse tested positive because the triple antibiotic they used on some bug bites had a pain killer in it…
