Using iodine on horses is a veterinary procedure that should only be done by a qualified veterinarian. Iodine can be dangerous if used improperly, and it's essential to have a professional diagnose the condition and determine the appropriate dosage and application method.
Here's why you should consult a veterinarian:
* Iodine can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in horses.
* The appropriate form of iodine and the correct application technique depend on the specific condition.
* Dosage must be carefully calculated based on the horse's size and health.
* Other underlying conditions may require alternative treatments.
If you have concerns about your horse's health, please reach out to your veterinarian immediately.
Remember, a veterinarian is the only person who can provide safe and effective treatment for your horse.
