In horses: Which ones of the following terms designate a foot disease?
What the hell is a fire head?? None of the conditions you’ve listed are foot DISEASES. Cracks, and bruised soles are caused by either impact on a dry ground or rock, or by having unhealthy feet that allows for imperfections. A contract hoof (I am going to assume you mean contracted heelbulbs), is a conformation defect that horses are usually born with. Don’t know what the heck a hive is either, in reference to hoof. A disease is a disease of the foot – and the only one I can think of off hand would be white line disease – a chronic condition that actually has the qualities of a disease – it spreads and can cause the hoof to slough off. Navicular can be classified as a disease, too. Nothing you’ve listed qualifies as a hoof disease.
