Do I have to pick off the scabs before applying Silver Honey Rapid Relief Scratches Spray?
No. Silver Honey’s RapidSorb™ technology is designed to help the formula penetrate thickened skin and scabs, so aggressive scab removal is not necessary. If needed, clip and gently clean the area before applying the spray.
Should my horse’s legs be completely dry before I apply Silver Honey Scratches Spray?
If you wash the area first, Silver Honey recommends patting it dry before application. When cleansing is needed, the manufacturer suggests using its Medicated Shampoo, leaving it on for five minutes, rinsing, and patting the area dry before applying the Scratches Spray. Allow the spray to air-dry after application.
How often should I apply Silver Honey Scratches Spray, and how long might I need to use it?
Apply the spray once daily until the area has cleared. For more persistent cases, it can be used twice daily. Smaller, localized areas may show improvement within 1–2 weeks, while more extensive areas involving the pastern, heel bulbs, or cannon may require 2–4 weeks of consistent use.
What’s the difference between Silver Honey Scratches Spray and the regular Silver Honey Wound Spray Gel?
Scratches Spray is specifically formulated for equine pastern skin concerns such as scratches, mud fever, dew poisoning, and cracked heels. It features RapidSorb™ technology and an essential-oil blend designed for thickened, scabby skin. For general cuts and other skin concerns, Silver Honey recommends its Wound Repair products.
How long will one bottle of Silver Honey Rapid Relief Scratches Spray last?
According to Silver Honey, the 6-ounce bottle provides approximately 150 sprays. How long one bottle lasts will depend on the size of the area being treated and whether the product is applied once or twice daily. Larger affected areas will naturally require more product per application.
