I do believe that Rain Rot is contagious if
left untreated from my past experience. One of my horses gets this every
Spring. Best obvious solution is prevention if you know that a certain horse is
prone to this; Blanket the horse in the rain.
If noticed early? Recovery is quick; I
start off with a Betadine solution on all infected skin. Then I put a Tea Tree
Solution (15 drops to 8 oz of water) that I dab on with cotton
balls every day for approximately two weeks. And it's good to get the
scabs off and saturate with Tea Tree solution. Should notice hair
growing back in about 4-5 days.
