Corona Multi-Purpose Ointment
Corona Multi-Purpose Ointment is a classic, petrolatum-based topical used widely in barns for protection against moisture, rubbing and mild abrasion on horses; its straightforward barrier function makes it a staple for preventive skin care. Financially and logistically it’s often the most accessible option for routine use compared with specialty antimicrobials or astringents, though it lacks the antimicrobial specificity and active healing promotion found in products like Silver Honey or Vetericyn.

Shapley's Original M-T-G
Shapley's Original M-T-G is a concentrated astringent topical used historically in equine care to control excess granulation ('proud flesh') and promote tighter, dryer healing of wounds. Its drying, contracting action makes it uniquely effective for targeted use where contraction is desired; economically it is often highly efficient because small amounts are effective, but it is more aggressive than hydrating or antimicrobial options and should be used with care on delicate or open tissues.
