What is Bute-Like™ Poultice and how is it used?
A poultice is a soft, moist mass of material that is applied to the skin to help relieve inflammation and swelling. In the case of a horse, a poultice is often used on the legs to help reduce inflammation and swelling after exercise or injury.
To use a poultice, you will first need to clean the area where the poultice will be applied. Then, you can apply the poultice to the skin, being careful to smooth it out and ensure that it is evenly distributed. The poultice should be covered with a piece of plastic wrap or a bandage to help keep it in place, and then a wrap or bandage should be applied over the top to hold everything in place.
It’s important to keep the poultice moist, so you may need to rewet it periodically. The poultice should be left in place for a period of time, usually several hours or overnight, before being removed.
Poultices can be made using a variety of different ingredients, including clay, Epsom salts, liniments, and other substances that are thought to have healing properties. Some poultices are bought pre-made, while others are made at home using a combination of ingredients. It’s important to choose the right poultice for your horse’s needs and to use it correctly in order to get the best results.
