Product Information

Many people ask about using Hydrogen Peroxide, bleach, iodine, sugar-dyne (sugar and iodine), and unfortunately, all of these contain ingredients that destroy the thrush but destroy the frog along with it, delaying the development of a healthy frog. drops per oz of water. A 16 oz bottle needs about 32 drops. Shake very very well before each use. You can make it stronger for more serious cases; its not an exact science. If you don't get results use more drops.

CleanTrax for horses uses a special blend of safe chemicals to cleanly root porous keratin coverings such as fingernails, toenails, and hooves. It can penetrate even the hardest protein coverings to sink deep into keratin pathways and kill harmful bacteria deep in the hoof. This is an archived Horseadvice.com Discussion. The parent article and menus are available on the navigation menu below:I hadn't heard that you couldn't use it with a "soaking boot" - make sure there isn't any metal involved. I have a new soaking boot that I bought through SmartPak that I'm going to use next time. He lives out now, but spends maybe 6 hours on hard ground eating hay. So, when it’s dry, his feet get that chance to dry, but not when it’s been raining (he actively avoids the field shelter). The pasture has very little mud, but he does have a habit of using only the muddiest paths to get from field to field. CleanTrax is safe to use on open wounds and will not affect the the quality, colour, or appearance of skin or hair. However, it will damage coloured fabrics. Won't get into the different prods/chemicals, except to say that especially if thrush is deep, close or into live tissue, you need to be careful what you use to kill infection, that it doesn't also damage/retard live tissue growing. Strong chemicals, including some astringent essential oils can do that. Believe it or not, raw honey & salt, or even just a salt slurry, are great for deep thrush. But 'WLD' aka 'Seedy toe' is generally only in (dead) wall material, and it's insidious, so it is safe - and pays - to hit it hard IME. I'd save 'koppertox'& other 'big guns' for that. Should I wait until I have some boots for him before I walk him again? (Waiting for his next trim in a couple of weeks time)

Visit the Whole Horse Health Yahoo group for more advice on thrush! http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/wholehorsehealth This group isn't just about barefoot, we talk about about diet, environment, vet care body work, chiropractic, acupuncture and acupressure. There are more than 18 professional trimmers and 3 or 4 farrier's on the list (who also do barefoot trimming), and folks who shoe are welcome here too. It is a low volume list right now. It is a restricted group in that it is closed to people trimming invasively or promoting an invasive trim approach. I always liberally sprinkle Gold Bond (or the generic form) in hoof boots prior to putting them on my horses feet. By "liberally" I mean almost 1/4 cup! I also strongly advise that it be used for horses in rehab who wear boots for more than a few hours each day. Boots hold moisture in, and create a great environment for thrush. One aspect of the treatment that most people disregard is the importance of **really** cleaning the frog thoroughly on a daily basis and prior to treatment. Depending on how severe your horses thrush is, cleaning has different meanings. I am currently working on a horse which had been so 'interestingly' shod that it would appear that the lamella attachment was slowly being torn (probably with every step). The hoof wall shows hundreds of the finest/thinest event lines. The shoes were a different shape to the feet and were IMO much too big - the hoof wall had been grown long and then 'bent' out to fit. There is a theory doing the rounds in this area that modern hooves are too small so the foot needs to be stretched bigger.

I don't use anything on feet. If the horse gets thrush I treat it otherwise I just use a wire brush on the soles and wire brush the frog as well. Equine Cushing’s Disease is a hormonal disease of older horses caused by a benign growth of the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. These horses generally are around 20 years of age but the disease has been recorded in horses as young as seven years old.
