Spit That Out
Well-Known Member
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding my horses heel bulb?
I have a rising 2 year old that is barefoot. I have noticed that one side of one of his rear bulbs has worn the top layer of skin.
He's not lame, there is no heat in it, doesn't mind you touching it and It's not weeping.
I'm not sure if its just because of the hard ground and it's rubbed or when getting him in from the field he's stood on a stone and it's grazed the skin off.
My friend sprayed a blue spray (in a yellow can) she had from the vets on it and said to use it for 3 days as it is antibiotic and will harden the area?
Do you think i should get my vet or farrier out? Am I just being a over protective mum or am i being a complete numpty and it's nothing?
