In this dermatology-packed episode of The Equine Vet Connect Podcast, Dr. Dan Carter and Dr. Caroline Brown dive into the messy world of equine skin infections just in time for Georgia’s allergy-filled spring. From debunking the “everything’s a fungus” myth to explaining why rain rot and pastern dermatitis (a.k.a. scratches) are more often bacterial than fungal, they keep it real and relatable.
You’ll learn why chlorhexidine and betadine might be doing more harm than good, what products actually help your horse’s skin, and how managing moisture and environment is half the battle. Expect practical tips, some good laughs, and a few strong opinions about donuts and coffee. Whether you're dealing with flaky fetlocks or scabby backs, this is your go-to episode for skin care that actually works.
🧼 Spoiler alert: Soap, water, and a good rubber mitt beat antifungal overkill any day.
