This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Is it possible to do it TOO often and iritate the skin, removing all of the harmless but "protective" bacteria?
Betadine scrub seems harsh. "Excaliber" sheath cleaner with Tea tree oil is a lot milder, yet even that needs to be thoroughly rinsed out or it can "scald".. I have noticed "scalding" on my gelding's "private part" from not rinsing well... The skin peeled. You might just rinse out the sheath using a hose with warm water every few days or so and avoid the betadine for a while and see how that goes. Any advice from the vets and others?
