KERALIT Keralysin Ointment Subscription
Gently dissolves scabs and crusts. With mallenders, eczema and older skin injuries, scabs often cover the affected areas of the skin, adhering stubbornly and sticking to the hairs. This means they hinder a meaningful treatment of the underlying pathogens. The extremely thin oils of the KERALIT Keralysin Ointment infiltrate and soften these scab layers and loosen them. These can then be gently removed without mechanical irritation or injury to the skin, often after only 1 overnight application. Additionally prescribed disinfectants or medications can only then achieve their optimal effect. KERALIT Keralysin Ointment has proved to be very useful, especially with Friesians or other horses with long fetlock feathers, as there was no need to remove the feathers before treating.

Wound Care & Disinfection for Horses: Safety for Your Stable Pharmacy
In everyday stable life, in the pasture, or out riding – small scratches, abrasions, or superficial bite wounds are almost part of the daily routine for horses. Since horses live in an environment where dust, manure, and bacteria are omnipresent, even a tiny injury can quickly become infected or lead to dangerous cellulitis. Immediate, professional wound care and disinfection is therefore essential to kill germs and optimally support the healing process.
The First Step: Thorough Cleaning and Disinfection
Before a wound is treated with ointments, it must be absolutely clean. Carefully wash out superficial dirt with clean water or a sterile saline solution. Then the most important product in your stable pharmacy comes into play: a disinfectant spray (such as iodine spray or blue spray). It reliably disinfects the wound, does not sting, and dries the injured area slightly, immediately depriving bacteria and fungi of their breeding ground.
Protective Ointments and Nourishing Wound Balms
Once the wound is clean, disinfected, and dry, it must be protected from new environmental influences and insects. Special wound ointments or zinc ointments are excellent for this. Zinc ointment forms a breathable, water-repellent protective film over the injury, which blocks dirt and simultaneously promotes cell regeneration. For heavily stressed skin areas or in the healing phase, wound balms with natural extracts such as calendula or aloe vera provide the necessary moisture so that hard crusts do not tear open.
Frequently Asked Questions
What belongs in a good stable pharmacy for wound care?
The absolute basic equipment includes a mild disinfectant spray (iodine or blue spray), a thick zinc ointment to cover wounds, a nourishing wound balm for abrasions, as well as sterile compresses and bandages in case an injury needs to be covered.
Can I spray silver spray (aluminum spray) on open wounds?
Silver spray forms an elastic, metallic film that seals wounds extremely well against dirt and flies. However, it should only be applied to superficial, clean abrasions that are no longer bleeding. It must not be used on deep, gaping, or heavily weeping wounds, as wound secretions must be able to drain away.
When do I need to call the vet for a wound?
You can easily disinfect and treat small, superficial scratches yourself. However, you must call the vet immediately if the wound bleeds heavily, is very deep, is near a joint, needs stitches, or if the horse gets a fever and the affected leg suddenly swells (suspicion of cellulitis).
