Right:
My pony has been in a field for the past 3 months and has very rapidly developed severe thrush.
She was supposed to be being looked after by someone (thats another story!)
Anyway: I had tried to keep her thrush under control by peroxiding it.. with the constant wet weather her frogs were getting sofer and she became extremely lame on her front fore so called vet out.
Prognosis: Thrush no lammi worries.
Given bute, some antibacterial gel and an antibiotic spray and told if it doesnt get better in 7 days get her into a stable.
So, 5 days later and i move her into a stable, so today shes been in the stable 8 hours and i had cleaned her feet up and sprayed them (run out of bute currently) but when she comes out of her stable for a stretch of legs shes extremely lame (very hard to watch her, its awful) and she keeps holding up her front leg (the one vet said was the worst) so i spray it again and put her back in after checking for any heat in hooves (none) and any pulses (none)
Now: My mum said her frogs are probably very sore now they are finally dry- the spray can get to work and shes probably really feeling the pain more so not to worry and give it until monday to see if theres any difference.
Am i overreacting or does that sound right?
Bearing in mind this is probably the driest her feet have been for about 3 months thanks to our lack of summer?
Help!!
