Mines a TB and he also has that well known 3 legged disease. Think he prefers 3 legs to 4!! Abcess, nail in sole, abcess then sliced his coronet then his fetlock. Injuries so close together vet put all the treatment on the same bill!!!
Blue chip didnt work for me, but swore by Keratex in Cyprus as the ground is so hard and farriers so poor. Kept my lads feet just right. Dont use it as much now in Germany but i think it was because i looked after his feet so well in Cyprus! Well untill he stood on a nail but thats another...
I feed D&H Barley rings quik beet, alfa a and hi fi nuts and my TB is a poor doer, just back from bad accident and this seems to be doing the trick without the fizz!
My horse Jack had a nail in his sole, between the point of the frog and the heel, if that makes sense. Nail removed, no fractures or damage to pedal bone-coffin joint. Thankfully! Poulticed for a week antibiotics every other day for 5 days, BUTE.
He came sound for 1 day then bang abcess on...
