So far, so good. I just got in from checking him, and still no signs of itchiness. I've only been putting the Swat on his midline every 2-3 days, solely relying on the EquiSpot, and so far.... Tonight, I sprayed him and used the Swat, just for extra insurance though. Bart's wound is the tougher project. The flies love an open wound, so I'm putting the VIP fly ointment on it 2-3 times per day. Thank goodness he's so docile, so I can go in and take care of him as needed. Thank goodness it's healing - with two horses staying in the barn and adjoining paddocks most of the day, we have more flies at the barn than normal. I was able to sponge on a good application of Poridon a couple of days ago, and that seems to be helping. Karen Thomas, NC
