Farrier Supplies Contact Canoga Thrush Treatment Apply lightly to moistened finish to affected area. For topical use only on equine hooves. Canoga Thrush Treatment - 4 oz. spray bottle. While thrush is most often seen in horses that must stand in muck and wet conditions, it's also found in horses with dry stabling. It can occur toward the end of a shoeing cycle, when flaps of the frog grow over the sulci and trap dirt and moisture. Horses with contracted heels can be prone to thrush because their hoof conformation narrows the sulci so dirt and manure aren't as easily dislodged. Prevention: Air is the best treatment for thrush. Daily hoof picking is a key to preventing thrush. Regular exercise contributes to overall hoof quality by increasing circulation. A clean, dry environment helps prevent the organisms that cause thrush. Treatment: Trim the frog. Have your farrier evaluate your horse's hooves if you suspect thrush. If the frog is overgrown, the farrier will trim it. This gets rid of the infected parts of the frog and allows air to circulate better around the frog. Clean the hoof. After the frog is trimmed, scrub the entire foot with a stiff brush and warm water. Allow the foot to dry completely before applying Canoga Thrush Treatment.
