EquiShield CK HC Salve is a topical, water soluble salve packaged in a jar for use on horses, dogs and cats. The formula combines chlorhexidine gluconate, ketoconazole and hydrocortisone with lanolin, giving it both cleansing and moisturizing properties for skin that needs extra care. It is described as fast absorbing and unscented, allowing it to be worked into the affected area and surrounding skin without leaving a heavy residue. The salve is applied directly to the area of concern, with frequency and duration set by a veterinarian based on the animal's needs. No mixing or setup is required beyond applying the product with a clean hand, gloved hand or spatula. It is intended for external use only and should be kept away from the eyes, mucous membranes and out of reach of children.
