It was reacently brought to my attention that an older lady with
multiple health issues was having big problems with a horse and
getting treatment. I went out to see what was up when asked by a
mutual friend, and found a rear hoof split from toe to top. Obviously
infected and in need of care that she cannot do. For a week a drove up
and treated it once a day while I worked things out to treat it here.
Soaking in hot water, Iodine, and epsom salts. And then wrapping with
a mix of epsom salts and black drawing salve. Now I am soaking it
twice a day in a mixture of hot water, Iodine, epsom salts, and tea
tree oil. Then wrapping with the epsom salts and drawing salve. The
infection has gotten better, and we were able to cut away a lot of bad
hoof yesterday. Our next step is a broad spec antibiotic, and an x ray
next week. I am sending pictures. Any and all ideas are welcome.
Anything you think may help please get them to me. Farrier and vet
agree this started as an abcces. I am open to meds and herbal
treatements
