I personally would recommend and MTG as well for rain rot it works wonders. my horse had a really bad case of rain rot and I only used the MTG three times and it was completely gone within 2-3 weeks. I will say that it does leave a very greasy coating on your horses for and you'll have to use soap to get it out of your horses coat but it will solve your problems Don't quote me 😂

#askthevet Do you have any tips on managing a horse with anhidrosis? I've heard beer, but also heard it doesn't work or can make a horse drug test positive. I know there are supplements, but do they actually work?
