Thrush buster for horses crack#

I literally can barely swab/pat the area with a soaked iodine gauze pad without her objecting.

It is extremely sensitive to touch, and because of this I haven't even tried treatments I have read on the internet ie: pushing a cotton tip soaked in iodine/vinegar/pete's goo into the sulci to reach the bacteria.

But, you can't blame others and as a horse owner I should have been aware of this problem!!!!!!!!!!!Īnyway, enough sulking - the frogs have contracted inwards creating a nice juicy crack for bacteria to thrive. What I don't understand, is why my farrier either didn't pick up on her slowing collapsing-inward and unhealthy frogs, or why he just didn't bother to tell me. Because I understand it more now, I am aware that poor Candy has actually had this problem for quite some time (I am talking months - it was only until the lameness showed that I called the vet, if I had done it earlier the infection would not be this bad). Now that I understand what the problem is, I am extremly angry at myself for not being educated enough and not regonising the problem earlier. feeling very disheartened!Ĭandy was diagnosed with an infection (thrush) in both front hooves on Monday, 16 April. I am seeking some advice as I am feeling quite overwhelmed by the problem I have.
