I've been interested to read the latest thread on treating thrush with sugar and betadine. I have a rescue horse with a bad case of thrush and may give this a try. Do you use the betadine scrub or is there some other kind of betadine?
I was wondering if anyone has tried it on scratches, the fungal and/or bacterial infection behind the fetlocks that horses with feathers are prone to? I recently bought a Clydesdale mare with a nasty case of scratches that are now at the stage of being raw, oozy sores, but none of the meds I've been using seem to be making that big of an improvement. The thing I worry about with sugardine is that it might attract flies, esp. since I can't easily wrap the affected area, so I'd just have to slather it on and leave it there. Any thoughts?
I'm still looking for my trail broke Fjord, but at least starting both the rescue mare and the Clydesdale mare under saddle is keeping me busy!
