Cleaning a horse’s stall is important in order to ensure the stall is clean and dry especially if the horse is in it for a long period of time. Talk with your vet or local grain store owner to decide what type of bedding to use in the stall and how much should be used at one time. Keeping your horse’s stall clean and dry is a key way to prevent your horse from getting urine scald. Urine scald can occur in horses when their stalls are not kept clean and dry. When your horse lies down in his stall and the bedding is wet, your horse’s coat can soak in the urine causing urine scald, skin inflammation or even hair loss to the legs or stomach areas. Urine scald can also occur if your horse is having trouble controlling his bladder. Call your vets Wichita, KS for treatment suggestions. A topical ointment is usually recommended.
