Foot Thrush/Cankers

Verify with your Farrier that your horse may have Thrush or Foot Cankers, both affecting the sole of the Horse´s foot, and both very contagious, both very, very damaging to the horse´s foot. Both create a powdery covering once the debris has been cleared away; both smell, and both are treated very differently. White line disease is often in occurance at the same time. Thrush & White Line Disease can both be controlled by 2X daily application of Kopper Kare or Koppertox applied directly to the sole of the foot and the frog area; and then stall confining the horse for a few hours after treatment. Cankers must be treated by a Veterinarian. Prevalent in Moist, rainy climates.
