URGENT Footy prob PLZ READ

[HorseGirl18]

i THINK both of my horses have thrush .it has only occurred after the torrential rain yesterday and they were out all night. i know this because i pick out their feet at least once a day.

their frogs are like sponges (in feel and look) and the foot smells disgusting! it smells more in some than others and is defo not their normal smell. it smells slightly damp but i dont know how else to describe - never smelt anything like it

i have hibi-scrubbed with a little water so it looks soapy (is that what your meant to do?)

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

please help me! i have really important shows coming up in the next few weeks too. im fretting soo much.

even if you dont think its absoloutley correct, please write it down!

double choc muffin and fanta if you get this far

Thouroughly clean with saline solution.. dust in cut heal wound powder.. then squeeze in cut heal ointment.. I would then keep the hooves dry and clean for 12 hours... do this every day.

The thrush won't have developed overnight hun. Must have been brewing for some time, possibly months or even longer. Depending on the level of infection you might have to change your bedding until it's completely cleared. It's a fungal infection that loves damp conditions.
