Car and Day and Martin Killitch Sweet Itch Lotion

To soothe the unfortunate condition of sweet itch (Queensland Itch)

Cutaneous liquid for treatment of the condition known as sweet itch in horses and ponies. Apply to all affected areas by rubbing in with a soft cloth as soon as sweet itch is diagnosed and for the remaining part of the itch season. Initial application of Killitch should be made twice daily, reducing to once daily  and then 3 – 4 times a week as the irritation lessens. All affected areas should be kept clean by shampooing and rinsing well at least once a week. Re-apply after shampooing or heavy exercise to ensure adequate protection. With horses which are prone to itch, it is recommended that Killitch is applied in the early Spring before symptoms become evident, so that the condition may never take a hold.
