Education hub

Horse Health Library

A rider-first education hub for stiffness, recovery, cooling, hoof care, skin care, hauling, regional weather, insect pressure, emergency readiness, and plain-English barn terms.

Quick answer: start with what you are seeing. Check red flags, then choose the correct professional lane or Draw It Out® routine-care path.

First rule: know when it is not a product question

Call your veterinarian, farrier, fire department, or emergency authority for sudden severe lameness, non-weight-bearing, hoof heat with a bounding digital pulse, fever, colic signs, dehydration concerns, wounds, rapid swelling, abnormal breathing, smoke exposure, fire, embedded parasites, unusual tissue damage, or anything getting worse instead of better.

Tick and Wound Checks

Quick answer: fly and tick season should start with a hands-on horse check. Move unusual wounds, embedded parasites, fever, swelling, drainage, visible larvae, or rapidly changing tissue into the veterinary lane.

Where to check

  • Inside and behind the ears.
  • Under the jaw and through the mane.
  • Chest, elbows, between the legs, sheath or udder area, and tailhead.
  • Lower legs, coronary bands, rub zones, and moisture-prone areas.

Call your veterinarian when

  • A wound is rapidly worsening, hot, swollen, draining, or foul smelling.
  • You see larvae, maggots, unexplained tissue damage, fever, weakness, or sudden lameness.
  • A tick cannot be safely removed or the horse develops broader symptoms.
Animal-health alert

New World Screwworm in Horses

Visible larvae, foul odor, enlarging wounds, unusual pain, drainage, fever, weakness, appetite changes, or abnormal behavior are veterinary and animal-health reporting questions—not product questions.

Where Citraquin® fits

Citraquin® Environmental Defense Spray may remain part of an ordinary, label-directed fly-season routine on intact skin. It is not a screwworm prevention product, treatment, diagnostic tool, or guarantee.
