How to Use Equaide Equaide is a simple and effective product to use. Each pot is supplied with a mixing stick and application brush. When opening your pot of Equaide, please take care not to spill it. The product will require mixing before use, as it naturally separates during storage, with the liquid sitting on top and the thicker material settling at the bottom. Equaide should be thoroughly mixed until there are no lumps remaining. This can take several minutes, so please take your time to ensure it is fully mixed before application. Preparing the wound Before applying Equaide, first clean the wound using saline solution or fresh water. Once cleaned, dry the area thoroughly. Swabs are ideal as they are less likely to stick to the wound. Apply a thin layer of Equaide to the affected area. A thicker layer is not necessary and will only result in using more product than required. If the wound is actively bleeding, a pressure bandage may be required. If you are inexperienced with bandaging or have any concerns regarding the wound, we always recommend consulting your vet. Ongoing management of the wound This process of clean, dry, and reapply should be repeated daily until Equaide gets on top of the wound, at which point application can usually be reduced to every other day. If proud flesh is present, daily cleaning, drying, and reapplication should continue. Trust the process — Equaide works. However, if you have any questions or are unsure about anything during treatment, please get in touch. We are always more than happy to help.
