Autumn is here, and with it comes more and more thrush. Since the question of how to prevent it and how to treat it comes up again and again, we would like to discuss it now. The best prevention is of course a clean environment, dry bedding and regular trimming by a good farrier. Hooves with malpositions tend to rot quickly, on the other hand thrush can also lead to a forced hoof. A vicious circle. Therefore it is all the more important to treat the rot as soon as it appears, or to do something preventively if necessary. Once it is there, we recommend treatment with our FrogMedic. First clean the hoof well and then spray it on - right into the smallest holes and furrows. If necessary, it can be useful to additionally work with cotton wool or horn pads to protect the affected areas even longer. Alternatively, the FrogAde can be used; here, remove old, dead horn with the enclosed brush and massage in the FrogAde well. Both can also be used preventively, for example once a week in your grooming routine. Products with naturally disinfecting oils can also help preventively. For example, eucalyptus oil and laurel oil are very suitable. HUFLAB hoof grease is therefore ideal for prevention.
