Hello. If she is not having any issues, then there is usually nothing more to give her except for plenty of good grass hay, some concentrates, either as a sweet feed or a pelleted feed, & a salt block. A senior pelleted feed might be appropriate for Destiny, but if you are concerned about a health issue, you should consult your veterinarian for this. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

This may have started as rain rot but now it looks like there is a secondary infection. I recommend cleaning the area with iodine solution twice daily and keeping him out of tall wet grass or brush which can aggravate this. You can use fly leg protectors to keep flies off it and protect the areas. I do recommend a veterinary exam and treatment since he may need antibiotics or antifungal medication to get this resolved. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for your horse.

Hey there. From the pictures I can't really tell what that is exactly. In general with cattle I start with penicillin and add on as needed. They will probably need to flush the area as well. You can also get some diluted iodine to pour on in the meantime. Make sure you put on some fly spray so it isn't getting parasites in the wound. Hope this helps you.

This looks like the result of a chronic trauma or infection creating a proliferative skin inflammation (that is why it looks like a lump). A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics or antifungal meds (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem. Disinfection can eventually be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths.
