I always have a jar of furazone in my tack box for treating little cuts and nicks on my horses. It works well for do-it-yourself treatments and it stimulates skin growth to cover the wound rapidly. However, be sure to wear gloves when applying as it has be shown to cause cancer in lab animals. In addition, I no longer use this on lower legs because of its ability to create proud flesh.

Pros: effective injury treatment

Cons: possible carcinogen for humans, can create proud flesh

I used this on barbed wire cuts,the wounds healed real fast.

Usually yellow in color, this type of furacin can come in a salve or a powder. I like the powder for a horse that is afraid for you to touch a wound, as you can "puff" in on from a short distance. Best on open wounds

Pros: ease of use

Cons: none

I like to use this old stanby on wounds if I want to keep them pliable and before I intend to clean the wound with water later in the day.
I have found it has a nice thick texture that I can slather all over the wound and it will protect it.
One down side is that in really dusty conditions it seems to attact dirt when not covered with a wrap.

Pros: stays soft

Cons: can attract dirt

This furazone ointment can be bought at TSC or local farm supply stores. It is a good ointment to heal minor scrapes and cuts. It sticks to the area applied to. Cheap and effective.

Pros: affordable, effective, coats good, sticks to scrapes and cuts

Cons: keep away from eyes and mouth
