"Consider using thrush medication. Some experts recommend using thrush medication in addition to cleaning the hoof and trimming the frog. This can help give your horse relief from the symptoms of thrush and combat the bacterial infection while your horse heals. If you're unsure about whether or not to try medication, talk to your equine veterinarian about the benefits of adding thrush medication to your treatment plan.\nIf you decide to use thrush medication, squirt it into the sulcus of the hoof, which are the V-like indentations that make up the “valley” of the hoof’s frog.\nApply clean gauze or cotton balls to the sulcus to cover the medication. Use a hoof pick to pack the gauze as deeply as possible into the sulcus.\nChange the packing every day for one to two weeks. The only times you should not have any medication or packing on the sulcus is during exercise or riding sessions.\nDepending on the severity of the infection, it could potentially take several months for the hoof to completely heal. Be patient and keep the hooves clean and cared for."
