Poultice Boots

[peanut]

Has anyone ever found a make of poultice boot that actually stays on?!

Tb feet btw.

I've got one of these and it's brilliant - I've never had the need to use it myself but it has been borrowed by several people who have all given it glowing reports.

LOL no the one I had was rubbish however it helped as a second layer! I would put the poultice on then put a couple of carrier bags over it taped up then the boot, of the boot came off the bags generally still were on!

I am very practised lately! I'd recommend usual animalintex and vetwrap then strong plastic feed bags (i used fluid bags from vets I work at but guess hard to get??). Next I put a square cut from a piece of old new zealand rug that was knackered- very hard to wear thru!- then duck tape over all of the above- several layers! Kept it on in field for 2 days at a time including walking up stone track so should work!!

another who uses either old feed bags or haylege wrap and gaffa tape

Yup lots and lots of duct take also adds another layer!!

Used them... and always ended up either lost in the stable or if ive had to turn out then it got lost in the field!

I use nappies instead of animalintex... works exactly the same but does up aroung the hoof so so so much easier! then duct tape over the top and voila! Ive never had one of these come off! even withstood turnout and a stony path!

I was going to try nappies but brought the wrong size! Tiggers feet were bigger than newborn!
