Tara123 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi, could anyone please tell me what the purple spray stuff is called please (the one that's used to deter pecking). Also the cheapest online supplier too, many thanks Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I get ours from our local farm suppliers. Its in an orange and white tin and is called "Septi-cleanse". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindi Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi The purple spray is called gentian violet spray. It covers up the red skin and makes it a less likely target for pecking but it doesn't act as an anti pecking spray. I got ours from sprcentre.co.uk. I think you can also get it from horse suppliers.

Egluntyne Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I get my Gentian Violet Spray from a local Equestrian shop. Costs around £3.50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 It is an Oxytetracycline/Terramycin aerosol they are called numerous names but it is the same ingredients. I dont think its gentian violet anymore as its banned I think but its purple/greeny blueish still. Any large animal vet surgery will have it as will any animal/equine feed store will have it. It is an antibiotic spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Mine is most definitely gentian Violet Spray. Says so on the label and I bought it only a short while ago. Exactly the same as **this** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 There are various different brands of the same product, some contain aloe too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara123 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thanks peeps. I went to my local stables and picked up some Aloe Vera purple spray. It seemed to be a bit pricey at £7.25 (240ml), but the kind shop lady gave me a 10% discount By the time I would have paid for postage to get some delivered online I guess it would of worked out about the same anyway. I've now also been converted into the Eglu world and hopefully getting mine delivered tomorrow. It had to be done due the the dreaded red mite this year in the wooden cope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
