Anybody tried Vetericyn the miracle curall/yes I got sucked into a RFD infommercial

I love this product for horse’s eyes. You can spray it directly in their eyes and it will leave them clear of goo. Works great for that.

Also spayed it on the freshly gelded colt, also worked great.

Both “places”: eyes and removed testicles wound = not what I want to touch, so I loved the spray option and I saw positive results.

vetericyn

As far as I am concerned, if my horse has an eye problem, I will FIRST consult with my VET. You may only have one chance with an eye…do you really want to gamble with that by using on over the counter product promoted on rfdtv via an infomercial??

You brought this dead thread back from August for that comment? I must be missing something here.

And it took me to the first post by Ambrey to realize this is a many year old thread to start with! :confused:

Oooh. This was the first to-the-point ridiculous thread I ever started.

Aaaahhh the memories.

There is another one going right now about “no post here” in case someone is that bored.

Vetericyn in the eyes

At issue here is not timeliness of a post but the risk involved in self-medicating a horse’s eye problem.
One may have a very short window of opportunity to apply either the correct or incorrect solution. Any eye treatment should always be directed by a Veterinarian. Any mis-step here could easily result in blindness…and…blind is blind, it is not reversible!!

Not quite. You cannot put clorox in someone’s eye, whereas you can with this stuff.

I got it on the recommendation of my vet for a horse with a weepy eye. Worked very well. Then used it on a leg wound and a case of scratches. In both cases I was very pleased with the result(s). It worked better on the scratches than anything else I’ve used so far.

Miracle medicine? Don’t know about that, but I will definitely keep in my pharmacy of treatments for this & that.

PS I also didn’t realize the original post was that old…I didn’t think Vetercyin was that old…

As for Stroller’s post about the eye, she made a good point. While Vetericin will not hurt the eye, it may not help. What WILL hurt an eye that has some sort of physical trauma to it is any sort of steriods. I always have eye ointments on hand – one that is just an antibiotic and another that has a steriod in it. One day I found one of my geldings with a half-closed, weepy eye. I figured he’d just gotten a seed or fleck of dust in it, and applied the Steriod Ointment. The next day the eye was twice as bad!! Obviously I had the vet out PDQ and she tested the eye. Sure enough, there was a small trauma involved. So I was directed to use the antibiotic ointment several times a day and that cleared in up.

But I was lucky in that no long term damage was done to the eye. And I learned a VERY valuable lesson.

i am useing vetericyn right now i love it.

i swear by this stuff…i think i have one of the worst wounds on a horse i have ever seen…this stuff is great its healing and the hair is growing back…honestly i dont think thre is going to be a big scar. if you would like to see the pics check them out on my face book photos (copper update) NICOLE OBRIEN…penn yan ny. i have photos from day one till now and vetericyn is the only thing i have used…you will be impressed. i am!

Oh no, the over priced bleach and water in a spray bottle has been revived!

Ahhh, don’t worry about it. Anyone that passed high school biology knows no simple spray or ointment can actually speed healing at a cellular level. The “ad”'actually made me laugh :yes:!

Yes, I’ve tried it. No I didn’t read all the posts. I’m not impressed with the product.

Case 1: I have a gelding whom I scalded last fall with fly spray. I’m still dealing with the scabs. One of the potions I tried was this Vetericyn, which did nothing to help dry the ever-weeping wounds. Matter of fact, it seemed to keep the wounds weepy and scabby. I worked on them for a week with this stuff, twice a day. Seemed to make them worse.

Case 2: Old dog with pressure sore-type wounds on her elbows. Open, weepy, threatening to become infected. Again, worked with this stuff for a week. Seems to improve the margins of the wounds some, but did nothing to dry them. Again,I gave up after a week.

In both cases SSD (silver sulfadiazine) ointment has made incredible improvments, to the point where they’re both nearly 100% healed.

Finally!

Just a heads up that this is an older thread bumped up by a now-deleted advertising post.

Thanks!

I know it’s an old thread, but there have been some interesting posts in the last couple of days. :wink:

My experience has been sort-of similar, except that I still really like Vetericyn. I have found it to not be so great on larger open wounds like sores, for exactly the reason described–you want to keep those soft but still fairly dry, and it doesn’t help any with that.

However, I like it for certain types of wounds. It is really good for cuts IME. I first got it because a horse needed stitches and my vet recommended it as an easy way to clean the wound. I’ve also used it on a horse who gets mildly irritated eyes with great results (there was a vet consult first and again Vetericyn was specifically recommended–I do agree that eyes aren’t something to mess about with).

It’s definitely not a miracle product, but I think it’s a handy part of my first aid kit. I also know I could probably mix it up myself for much less, but that sounds like a hassle. I’d just as soon pay extra and get the handy little bottle and not have to worry that I’d accidentally made it too strong or whatever.

First time I’ve seen this post, but I tried Vetericyn last year and liked it. Or at least it seemed to work and the wound healed quickly with no problems. Mare had a fairly deep cut to the back of one of her pasterns (kinda by her heel bulbs). I was surprised how quickly it healed…Vetericyn was the only thing I used. I bought it at the feed store and didn’t know there was such a controversy about it. :lol:

The only negative thing I have to say about it was that it seemed to sting. The bottle says no stinging or burning, but miss mare didn’t like it when I sprayed it on and acted like it hurt. Luckily it worked and I didn’t have to use it for too long.

Augh! It’s back! :slight_smile:

I needed a laugh, this revival accomplished it! Thanks!

Interesting… I suggest u try it. I would not have bought a bottle if I read the ingredients. Luckily I had my husband pick one up…I used it on a mare with two antibiotic resistant infections that 10 days of penicillin and 10 of SMZs didn’t touch…Vetericyn cleared it up. It might be simple ingredients but combined to create amazing results.

i stand by verericyn

:wink: i have used vetericyn on my horses my dogs and on myself!! it works on open wounds and heals them way faster than normal,ive swallowed it myself and gotten rid of sore throats,and ive used it to prevent and to heal mrsa,this product is AWESOME!!!:smiley:

My goodness —Two of them!!

I wonder what it would do for my aphids :smiley: See they got me thinking.

I’ll bet it’s what the ancient Egyptians used for embalming. :wink:

Vetericyn use

I had a yearling get kicked by my mare. The hole it created in her upper thigh area was huge, over 6" across the widest area and the whole leg from hock to tail was massively swollen. It was like she had a basket ball under her skin.
I started using the Vetericyn on day 3. The first 3 days I was using nitrafurazone. Within a week the swelling had gone away completely. The hole was still there but it was only about 2" across at the widest point. In the end, it all healed up with no scarring, no permanent hair loss. You couldn’t tell it had ever happened. I was spraying the area only 3 times a day and she was out in a large pasture. I did spray something on it to keep the flies away. I can’t believe I can’t remember the name of the stuff but that was the only other treatment I gave her.
I would definitely use Vetericyn again. I used it on a mare that put her leg through a fence. I’m considering using it again on my Arab mare’s eye which we can’t explain why it remains swollen.
