sore feet causing sore back?

I use a tcp type solution in water and scrub twice a week with it. Thrush is often missed as it doesn't have to smell but can make very sore feet.

You can also use diluted Milton or pack with cotton wool covered in sudocrem :)
 
My boy is prone to thrush and I've tried all those remedies mentioned here. but the one thing that zap's it with one, maybe two applications is Pete's goo. Pete Ramey made this up. It's half antibiotic cream and half clotrimazole (which you can get cheaply at chemists) Mix it well and put it into a syringe so you can get it into any deep crevices. You don't need much, just a small pea sized blob in crevises and I just smear a coating in the bottom of the collateral grooves. In fact smear it on any discolouration that looks black. I didn't have much luck getting antibiotic cream here in the UK so I just use Savlon and clotrimazole, it seems to work just as well.
 
Yes this has been my boys latest problem.
They are like us if I have sore leg say I will limp as it hurts but this in turn always gives me a sore back due to the way I'm using my muscles that is not normal.
 
As an update. Backman came out. Pony had two misalignments in back. Feet xrayed yesterday as still unsound on hard ground. Nothing on x rays apart from toe being too long not that it looks it from looking at feet. Farrier out tomorrow to trim toe back and fut natural balance. No laminitis and pulses have gone. Help! What else can it be? X
