Finally Beat Persistent Scratches — Even the Stubborn Cases

If you've been battling pastern dermatitis (scratches, mud fever, dew poisoning) and nothing seems to penetrate those thick scabs, the Absorbine Silver Honey Rapid Relief Scratches Spray was developed specifically for this. RapidSorb Technology microencapsulates the active ingredients — manuka honey and MicroSilver BG — so they actually absorb through crusted, thickened skin instead of sitting on the surface. This is the first equine scratches treatment engineered to solve that exact problem.

A blend of lavender, oregano, tea tree, and rosemary essential oils delivers immediate cooling relief while the honey and silver go to work healing from the inside out. No antibiotics, no steroids — just vet-strength natural ingredients that encourage the skin to debride naturally. You don't have to pick scabs or scrub raw tissue. Daily application handles most cases in 1–2 weeks; severe infections involving the cannon or heel bulbs typically clear in 2–4 weeks.

Why Riders Choose Silver Honey Scratches Spray

• RapidSorb Technology penetrates thick scabs — Microencapsulation ensures active ingredients reach infected tissue even through crusted layers, delivering faster healing than surface-only treatments.
• Immediate soothing relief — Essential oil blend (lavender, oregano, tea tree, rosemary) calms irritated skin on contact while the formula goes to work healing beneath.
• Natural debridement — no picking required — Encourages scabs to lift and slough naturally as healthy tissue regenerates, reducing trauma and reinfection risk.
• Manuka honey + MicroSilver BG — Proven antimicrobial power from nature; vet-developed formula with no antibiotics, steroids, dyes, or synthetic fragrances.
• Works on the toughest cases — Engineered for persistent, severe scratches that haven't responded to standard treatments; approximately 150 sprays per 6oz bottle.
• Pairs with Silver Honey Medicated Shampoo — For best results, cleanse with the shampoo first (let sit 5 minutes), rinse, pat dry, then saturate with Scratches Spray.

Best For

Horse owners dealing with chronic or severe pastern dermatitis looking for a penetrating treatment that works through scabs without manual debridement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often should I apply the Scratches Spray and how much do I use?

Apply once daily for most cases — spray the affected area until fully saturated (the formula needs to soak through). For severe infections with heavy scabbing or large affected areas, you can apply twice daily. Consistent daily use is more effective than sporadic heavy application.

Q: How long before I see results?

Smaller localized cases typically show significant improvement within 1–2 weeks with daily use. More serious cases involving the heel bulbs, cannon, or large pastern areas may take 2–4 weeks to fully resolve. You should see reduced inflammation and natural scab lifting within the first few days.

Q: What makes this different from the regular Silver Honey Wound Spray?

The Scratches Spray has RapidSorb Technology — microencapsulation that forces the manuka honey and MicroSilver BG through thick scabs and crusted skin. It also includes four essential oils (lavender, oregano, tea tree, rosemary) specifically chosen to address the inflammation and discomfort of pastern dermatitis. The standard Wound Spray works beautifully on fresh open wounds but doesn't have the penetration technology needed for scratches.

Q: Can I use this on my dog's hot spots or skin issues?

This formula was engineered specifically for equine scratches and the unique challenges of horse pastern skin. For dogs and cats, Absorbine makes Silver Honey Hot Spot & Wound Repair products formulated for companion animals — those are the better choice for your barn dog.
