RE: [RC] Hoof systery hole - Snodgrass, Bonnie
It may be white line disease. Is the hoof material around the hole, crumbly
and soft? If so then it is most likely WLD. SBS makes Sav-A-Hoof that will
treat WLD. Iodine will not kill it. Iodine crystallizes just onthe surface
and the WLD carries on underneath it. Interestingly, diluted household
bleach has been effective in treating WLD. SBS availble thru KV Vet and
other catalogs.

Subject: [RC] Hoof systery hole
Hey everyone,
One of my horses has a wierd little hole at the toe that never goes away. I
thought it was white line disease but the farrier said not. No matter how
much is rasped away it is always there. and I stuck a nail up in it and it
went about an inch!! To my knowledge he has not had an abscess and it is in
both front feet. It usually cracks up about an inch ot an inch and a half ,
but recently farrier rasped it and put these little plates over it so it
wouldn't crack anymore. Well, that was fine until the plates came off and
it
started all over again. I have been putting iodine up in the whole just
this
week to see if it will help but I'm stumped.
My other horse doesn;t get them and they are both on a trace mineral
supplement and biotin...
Help
Paula
