Bickmore Gall Salve
Bickmore Gall Salve earns a spot for equine oral ulcer care because its thick, emollient formulation creates a durable physical barrier that protects exposed mucosa and promotes a moist healing environment. Compared with antimicrobial gels on this list it is one of the most economical, long‑lasting dressings for lips and tongue lesions, but it is less specifically engineered for internal oral mucosa than products like Equaide or Vetericyn.

Silver Honey Rapid Wound Repair Gel
Silver Honey Rapid Wound Repair Gel combines silver’s antimicrobial action with honey’s osmotic and healing properties, giving it a technical edge on stubborn or contaminated oral ulcers where enhanced antimicrobial potency is needed. It generally commands a higher price than basic barrier salves, but its dual‑action formulation can accelerate resolution in cases where simpler dressings like Bickmore or liniments are inadequate.

Absorbine Veterinary Liniment Gel
Absorbine Veterinary Liniment Gel is included because of its wide availability and strong brand recognition as a topical analgesic/anti‑inflammatory; financially it’s inexpensive and stocked by many barns and clinics. For equine oral ulcers its utility is limited compared with mucosa‑safe gels — liniment ingredients can irritate oral tissue — so it’s most appropriate for peri‑oral pain management rather than direct mucosal ulcer therapy.
