DrO do you still use this recipe?
(one part formalin (37% formaldehyde), one part betadine, one part pine oil. Probably one part formalin to two parts water would be as effective. Be sure you use it carefully and keep it off your skin. I do not believe applying it to the horn of the foot harms the horse)
When dealing with a bad case of thrush, would it be a good idea to put shoes on a horse to help get the frog up off the ground so it can stay drier?

Still my favorite recipe and when I find something better I will edit the article promptly. No I find shoes tend to trap dirt worse than barefoot.

The answer to your question Jeri depends on why the horse is lame. Uncomplicated thrush does not cause lameness. For more on this see the article associated with this discussion. Click >> Thrush >> off the navigation bar above.
