FAQs
Can I reuse Animalintex?
No, Animalintex is designed for single use only to maintain sterility and efficacy.
Is it safe to leave on for 24 hours?
Yes, but it is generally recommended to change the dressing at least every 12 to 24 hours depending on the severity of the wound.
Does it need to be kept dry while on the horse?
Yes, if the horse is turned out or in a wet environment, use a waterproof boot or cover to keep the dressing clean and functional.
Can I use this on other animals?
While specifically formulated for equine care, it is occasionally used on other large animals; consult your veterinarian for guidance.
What is the benefit of the plastic backing?
The plastic backing serves as a vapor barrier to keep the dressing moist and clean, and provides a structural anchor for bandages.
Troubleshooting
Dressing is slipping or moving.
Ensure the dressing is properly secured with an elastic adhesive bandage or stable bandage that covers the full area.
Dressing becomes excessively saturated and heavy.
Ensure you are gently squeezing out excess water after soaking the dressing before application.
Pros and Cons

- Highly versatile with three distinct application methods
- Excellent absorption for draining wounds
- Durable plastic backing prevents leakage and protects the dressing
- Effective for treating common hoof and leg issues
Cons
- Requires proper bandaging skills for secure placement
- Cannot be reused once applied
- Must be protected from external moisture during treatment
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare a hot poultice, place the dressing (plastic side up) in a clean tray and pour boiled water (cooled to a comfortable temperature) around the edges. Allow the dressing to absorb the water, then gently squeeze out excess liquid before applying it to the injury. For cold applications, use cool boiled water. Always secure the dressing with a suitable veterinary wrap or stable bandage, ensuring it is snug but not constricting. Store unused dressings in a cool, dry place to maintain their structural integrity.
