I'm pretty sure my horse has thrush, as there (was/is) a slight odor coming from his hooves and black "puss." Anyways, I picked up some Thrush Buster and I've been putting it on and it has seemed to help (the odor now seems different and I think it's from the Thrush Buster) but now my horse's hooves are pretty much all black and purple. It's pretty annoying and it's hard to tell if the dark substance is more puss or if it's the Thrush Buster...it pretty much stained his hooves. I gave him a bath today and ran the hose over his hooves while I used a stiff brush to try and get it off but it didn't help much at all. Any help? I don't want to use it again so if the thrush isn't gone, how else can I get rid of it (home remedies or something?)
The farrier has never said anything about thrush so I don't know but if we had other farriers around he wouldn't be my first choice. Anyways next time the vet comes out for shots and all I'm going to have them look at the thrush problem, but if anybody knows how to get rid of the thrush buster and how to cure this thrush thing, please help :)
