Now they don't make hexocil what shampoo can i use instead for itchy skin and dry flaky coat?

why have they discontinued Hexocil does any one know? it was such great stuff i dont know what to use instead.Now they don't make hexocil what shampoo can i use instead for itchy skin and dry flaky coat?
malaseb is good from the vetsNow they don't make hexocil what shampoo can i use instead for itchy skin and dry flaky coat?
Malaseb is for treating bacterial and fungal skin infections and we only prescribe it for these things. As it contains chlorhexidine it may aggravate sensitive skin so I would discourage you from using it. Report Abuse

Malaseb ?





Depending on where the flakiness is you could try pig oil and sulphur.





You can get Malaseb from the vets ( about 拢10 lasts for ages )
head and shoulders or t-gel





personally i use head and shoulders and i never ever have dandruff its brilliant
Absorbine is a good brand. Try the medi shampoo.

they do still make it i found a couple of links that you can buy it on line hope it helps
t-gel is really good because i use that but it is expensive through but u can also try head and shoulders that will work
if this is for your horse ask you vet .they see this alot and maybe even have them check your horse in case something is wrong.i know you can also add vegetable oil in their feed to help with their coat and skip but ask your vet the amount for your horse.my vet told my about a 1/2 cup a day works great.
Coatex aloe and oatmeal shampoo is what we use at the practice for both dogs and horses with dry itchy skin. Also, adding linseed to the diet will make all the difference. Rather than using linseed oil, which is expensive, use actual linseeds. You can by them semi-crushed, almost like a sort of linseed-meal, and add 10-20g to the feed twice a day.





Our practice manager has a 18 month old with what looks like sweet-itch. He has scurfy skin all over and was losing first his mane and tail and then the hair on his belly. I biopsied his skin but all it came back as was eosinophilic (allergic-type) dermatitis, with no clue as to what was causing it. We allergy tested him and he was allergic to all sorts of things including soya. A change in diet and a switch from straw to woodchips helped but did not entirely solve the problem. My boss suggested adding this crude linseed to the diet. Within a week his coat was glossy and within 3 weeks the scurf had visibly reduced all over, even in his mane and tail.





Linseed is much better than corn or vegetable oil for this kind of condition - any oil will give a sheen to a normal horse but only linseed will make this much difference to a horse with an actual skin condition. I think it's priced at around 拢20-30 per kg but as you only use no more than 40g a day it works out pretty cheap compared to buying oil. If you're in the UK and you want to know where to buy it drop me a line and I'll find out for you.
Oh, I'm having a hard time remembering which is which, but I think you're either in need of Malaseb or Lytar...I think they're by the same brand though, so it shouldn't be too hard to find out which one to use...
i don't know why they stop making it but i do know what really work's the best head and shoulders or selem blue.
T-Gel is what my daughter uses, or sometimes Head %26amp; Shoulders can be very effective.
For horses, you don't want to use people shampoo because it is too sweet smelling and it attracts files. I use this, and it keeps their coat nice and it ahs citronella in it so it keeps flies away.
