Contraindications:
Precautions:
A few horses, particularly those of the fine-skinned Arab type, may
react adversely to
treatment with SHIELD. In such individuals, a small patch test is
recommended to assess
the sensitivity of a horse's skin to SHIELD. Apply a small stripe of
SHIELD (10-15 cm long)
at the base of the horse's neck and observe the area for 3 days. If no
reaction occurs, it is
safe to apply SHIELD at the recommended dose rate. If any subsequent
adverse reaction
occurs, treatment must be stopped immediately and the horse washed
with a large volume
of cold water. Any resulting skin irritation or reaction is normally
short-lived. However, if the
irritation persists, seek veterinary advice. Apply SHIELD during the
cooler part of the day,
preferably in the shade. Skin reactions may occur if product is
applied during hot weather. RLP APPROVED
When treating horses within a group, it is recommended to separate
each individual
horse for 24 hours after application. This is to minimise the
opportunity of eye contact with
SHIELD by mutual grooming.
