Hi,
My Warmblood's frogs have become soft and a little sensitive some days with all the wet weather we've been having.
He usually lives out and just gets brought in daily to have his feed and to pick his feet out, do general checks etc.
He is shod on all hooves and is not lame at all with this, just noticed that one of his frogs smelt a little the other day and was softer than normal.
Have had a vet friend check his feet to make sure it's nothing worse and they recommended 'purple spray' just to keep any infection or bacteria at bay.
I did put some Terramycin spray on all his frogs the other day which seemed to do the trick for now, but have run out of this and know you can only get it from the vet.
I know there's a long standing debate about whether purple spray is as good as the Terramycin stuff, just wanted your opinions on this regarding use on hooves.
Thanks

I tried with purple spray for months and didn't get anywhere, but used red horse field paste and artimud in the cracks for a week and all gone!!
