Oxine Soak, White Lightning and Clean Trax
See both the Thrush , Thrush Treatments or Clean Trax pages!
Lysol
Soak
For Thrush, white line disease and
surface crack cleaning. Read direction on the Lysol bottle and use the dilution suggested for cleaning floors. DO NOT apply undiluted! Soak feet for 30 minutes a day for 4 to 5 days, repeating if the thrush returns.
For a topical treatment, mix a solution that is twice as strong as the recommended dilution for floor cleaning, and apply to the thoroughly cleaned foot once or twice a day.
Apple
Cider Vinegar Soak
Organic apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a
great natural way to restore
pH to hooves and skin. I use
it when I have a horse with
scratches, as well as for
regular soaking to get feet
to loosen up. Horses seem
to like apple cider soaks
better than plain warm water,
but I'm careful with vinegar
and horses because some horses
don't handle the acids in
cider vinegar well. I have
a gelding who is allergic
to his sweat when he's had
cider... He ends up with severe
burns where he'd sweat.
Dilution: 1 part organic apple cider
vinegar : 2 parts warm water.
Soak 20 minutes to 1 hour.
Epsom
Salts Soak
For drying out abscesses
Dilution: 1 cup Epson Salts
:1 Gallon of water
Borax
Soak
Cleansing Soak.
Dilution: 1/2 a teaspoon
of Borax per soaking boot
of warm water or 1 tablespoon
Borax to 1/2 gallon of warm
water.
Tea
Tree or Oregano Oil Soak
Add water soluble tea tree
oil or Oregano oil to a soaker and soak for 30
minutes.
