Thrush Treatment (20 characters)?

Just about any farm store will have a small bottle of Thrush goo to spray or spread down there. There are a ton of brands-- ManeNTail, Thrushbuster, Farnham Equine, etc. They usually cost $6-$15 per bottle, and you'll only need one unless he's got it really bad.

Some people use the simple home remedy of a small amount of bleach in warm water, but I've never tried it.

Add a little barn lime under the bedding in his stall-- that will dry up any moisture between stall cleanings, and kill bacteria as well.

Finally, make sure the farrier cuts back any dead frog material, so that junk doesn't get trapped in there.

Well, horses pee, even on box rest. And I am sure you cannot remove the wet patches the second it occurs! Being stabled is an ideal situation for thrush to develop. It is warm, it is moist .... a common problem.

Anyway, buy some hydrogen peroxide - a disinfectant that you can buy in chemists very cheaply. Pick the feet out into a skip, and brush them out, and then pour in the hydrogen over the heel and frog area and it will fizz quite a lot! This is good. Once the fizzing has died down, apply a mixture of hoof oil and Stockholm Tar to the whole of the under surface of the foot - heels, frogs, soles and then apply to the outer wall of the foot.

Do this at least twice a day and the thrush should dry up. The mix of tar and oil is to help make the tar easier to apply. The tar is also a disinfectant - and forms a barrier to keep the feet dry.

I don't know where you are but if you have a Tractor Supply, they have a product called U.S. Vet Meds Dry Cow. It is a mastitis medication for a dry cow. It will heal your horse's feet very quickly and will not harm the healthy tissue in the hooves like other commercial or home remedies will. There are 12 syringes in a box for about $15.00. you will begin to see granulation in about 2 days. Apply daily until the opening between the heel bulbs has closed and the feet are clearly healed. Insert the tip between the bulbs and in the central sulcus and push the plunger until the medication comes out. You can apply to the collateral grooves if necessary.

Be careful when cleaning so many times each day. It could be too aggressive and could be opening areas to bacteria and fungus. Hope your horse is better soon. This medication is 100% safe and 100% successful and nothing works better in the 20 years I have been treated hooves. Good luck.

OK, just saw you are in UK so no TS. Just ask in your local stores for mastitis medication for a dry cow. You should be able to get it. In the U.S., it used to be by prescription only but we can get it over the counter now. You can also get it online at www.jeffersequine.com but I don't know if you want to go that route. Again, I urge you not to use the usual commerical products like Thrush Buster, Kopper Tox, Thrush XX and certainly not bleach,hydrogen peroxide, iodine, formaldehyde, iodine or other toxic chemicals that kill healthy tissue. Some people will reference use of such prducts because they have used them or because they have "been in horses for 30 years", etc but that just means they have been doing it wrong for 30 years and damaging horses for 30 years. again, Good luck. If all else fails, ask your vet.

Get some hydrogen peroxide from a chemist (6% if you can) and apply that neat for a couple of days and it should dry up right away.

Don't tell the chemist it's for horses as they are not allowed to sell it to you if you do, say it's for first aid use if they ask, plus side is it costs less than £1

My horse had thrush and I used this: http://www.kvsupply.com/KVVet/productr.asp?pf_id=5...

It worked great and took about 1 week to heal I think...Maybe more or less I don't remember. I just put that on the infected area with paper towel damped with the Thrush XX and wrapped it up.

I would talk to your vet about this as-well, good luck!

Strong Iodine is great for hoof problems but do not get it on the skin.
