Re: [RC] hoof tougheners/thrush prevention - Cindy Collins 2 - Roger Rittenhouse

Karen yes I could see that. I tried the iodine based cleaners/ scrubs also.
I think the real cure is to keep the frogs pristine clean. Anything that dries them out AND kills the bacteria has to be good.
Some strains of thrush or other pathogens in the frog may not respond to agents like Koppertox.


My multi product approach is probably the main reason I am able to keep this under control.
I will get the scrub, Walmart ? right? and give it a try.

Hi Roger and all,
a note that a client was using Koppertox on a regular basis with no
good results...the horse still had the thrush and the frogs were
really dried out....

She switched to the Technicare surgical scrub and felt the thrush
basically cleared up.
