Seedy toe?

Regular cleaning out of the cavity with a clean nail, then Engemycin blue spray and pack with Red Horse hoof stuff, plus regular application of Red Horse field paste to keep the foot generally bug free.

As long as I keep on top of the above treatment the seedy toe grows out.

After years of treating thrush with my borderline EMS oldie, I have gone back to the treatment my old instructor used when I was a child. Scrub the sole with clean water, and dry off as best you can. Paint the frog and heels liberally with Stockholm Tar and repeat every day for a week. Carry on applying for as long as you need to. Old Dobbin now has a long standing frog crack opening out, and every application shows improvement. I must have used the entire range of products available over the years.

I was told Copper sulphate solution and it has definitely helped my little pony.

- Sorry to hijack, Can Seedy toe be treated properly with a shoe on?

Thanks Meredith, I have used most products on his thrush , ranging from the “harsh” (hydrogen peroxide, iodine) to the new fangled (red horse , white lightning) and everything between (tea tree ).

If frogs are the issue there is another product by cavalor dry feet (which is pre/ probiotics).

If field is dry his frogs harden up, if wet (as this summer has been) I can clean and apply products daily (and he is kept in overnight ) but frogs continue to disintegrate , however neither vet nor trimmer seems bothered and seem to think I’m making a fuss about nothing

Another if it's for seedy toe I've been using Terramycin, with vets ok, on it which I think has the same active ingredient as TP's Engemycin. It's been a stubborn bit of seedy toe from last winter which kept recurring despite either two or three cleantrax treatments. we're still clear after the last four farrier visits and cut out bit will be finished next trim. Cleaned and terramycin applied as per vets and then moved on to Nettex Footmaster.

Ideally better treated without a shoe as the shoe can compromise access to the seedy toe tract. It depends on the presentation, though, you’ll get away with shoe on if you can access it ok.

Thank you. I’m a bit worried about my ridden horses foot. Don’t know if it is seedy toe really but I’ve soaked it anyway.
Will speak to my farrier this week.

Thanks all! Got some options there

Have a look at Pete Ramey's Hoof Rehab site. He stresses the importance of a correctly balanced foot to get the frog working properly and stimulate circulation and growth.
