Rain Scald
 

Help! My elderly retired mare has got rain scald and I'm at a bit of a loss what to do about it. She has cushings (which is well controlled with prascend) although she has, and has always had in winter, a woolly mammoth coat. She has been lightly rugged all winter as she lives out 24/7 and has arthritis. She has obviously sweated under the rug at some stage as she has patches of rain scald all over her back. I've clipped her back and washed the scabs with hibiscrub. Obviously I've had to re-rug her. Is there anything else I should do? I'm wondering if I should ask the vet to give her antibiotics??
