Does anyone know an effective method for treating thrush? Or should I just ring the farrier?
My friends 20 yr welsh mountain has developed a very smelly black frog, (only in his near side four atm) , and I think it is thrush. I wasn't that sure so the last two days I've soaked it in hibiscrub and salt then let it dry and purple sprayed it. I don't think this has had any effect. He is turned out in a fairly muddy field 24/7, should he be stabled for a short while or changed to a less muddy field?
Just like to point out I don most of the caring for this pony as his owners arent around much, and I feel terrible that I hadn't bought him in and groomed him in so long so hadn't noticed this. Please don't critise me for this, I have a handfull of a horse to look after that is my own.
Any advice much appreciated, thank you!
