something for dry heals

[china]

Thought my boy was coming up short on his front right today and upon inspection he has taken a chunk out of the back of his foot, a flap of hoof/bulb is hanging off and he is very sore on it. I have given it a good clean and dressed it and anti biotics are on they're way. Now this looks like he has over reached but he doesnt have shoes on and is wearing over reach boots 24/7 (puts his feet through fences and cuts his coranet bands!) But on the other side of the same foot in the same place seems really really dry and almost cracking so i wondered if this has partly caused the problem. what is best to put on this to hydrate it? I will take pics 2moro when i change the dressing to show what i mean. I have NAF profeet rub stuff and i have put that on it for now. Anything that is good for this type of thing??

Sudocrem! A wonder product. I have used it on anything and everything from mud fever to wire wounds and it is fab. Much better than any other lotion and potion on the market!

Yes definately Sudocrem, it is wonderful stuff (and doesnt cost the earth!) It's fantastic on everything! put a nice dollop on it acts as it's own barrier too - slightly watherproof. Hope it heals up soon xx

Oh sorry forgot to mention, if he is in dont have the o'reach boots on let the air get to the rest of his feet - if they are rubber one's they will make them a bit sweaty which wont help the skin splitting xx
