Leovet Propolis Gel – Natural Wound Care for Horses & Ponies, 350 ml

Leovet First Aid Propolis Gel – 350ml

Propolis is the resin honeybees collect and use to seal and protect the hive. leovet build this gel around it and describe it as carrying vitamins, resins and trace elements, with an antibacterial effect that supports wound healing and improves the protective function of the skin. It is a gel rather than a cream, so it stays put on a leg without being rubbed in hard.

leovet list it for abscesses, eczema, insect bites, minor skin injuries and tears, and single out the girth and saddle areas, the chest and the legs — the places tack and boots press. At 350ml the tub is big enough to live in the yard first aid box for a season rather than being finished on one leg.

Care & Caution

• Propolis is a bee product. Horses, and people applying it, can be allergic to bee products — patch test a small area first and stop if the skin reacts.
• For minor, superficial injuries only. Deep, dirty, bleeding or infected wounds, and anything involving heat, swelling or lameness, need a vet.
• Keep out of the eyes.
• Do not use it to cover an abscess that has not been assessed — sealing over pus does not help it drain.
