What is a good remedy for the foot infection, thrush?
There are many over-the-counter remedies that are excellent for this, but the directions must be followed. I always recommend that for the first several days the infected foot should be wrapped to get the maximum effectiveness from the medicine, otherwise, half the medicine is on the dirt or straw and no longer on the foot. A simple and inexpensive mixture of 50% clorox and 50% water (or 50% peroxide/50% water)works well for a starter. 7% iodine and other stronger remedies should only be applied under the supervision of your veterinarian or farrier. In all cases, you should be certain not to get any medicine in your horse’s heels, as it will burn or blister. You can apply some vaseline to the heel area for protection.
