Vetericyn Mobility Equine Hoof Care for Sole and Frog Damage Caused by Thrush, White Line Separation, and Seedy Toe. 8 Ounces

Thrush has been bad this winter. After running out of my normal treatment I decided to give this a try. Let me tell you I am really impressed. This product works like magic.

completely effective and have used it on my mare and pony all summer, fall and now going into winter. the tiny cap makes it easy to apply.

I have used an array of thrush preventers over the years, and this is by far the most effective. I also like that it is colored blue so you know where it is and isn't getting applied. It does stain clothes, so be careful for the overspray. I don't buy or use anything else since having switched to Vetericyn.

The dye in it is messy but at least I know I got it in the right spot. The bottle is bigger than the Thrush Buster small bottle. I don't see a difference. It's a got to have in the barn. All this rain and mud. We keep the farrier visits on every 6 weeks and she says their all fine.

As a Hoof Rehab Specialist, I am always looking for better solutions. And seeing as though the Vetericyn wound spray works great, I decided to try this hoof spray on a horse that has seedy toe, thrush deep in the frog sulcus, and lots of small cracks (white hooves stomping flies all day long) that end up harboring bacteria and then refuse to grow out as a result. By the 3rd application, about 8-9 days after starting to use it, I noticed a marked improvement in the horses hooves, specifically the thrushy frogs. I applied it 3x in the first 8-9 days, then once a week after that. By the time 1 month rolled around, the majority of the horses small cracks had grown out with just the one largest crack still there but improving. Seedy toe is almost completely gone, just a couple small spots that remain to grow out and will likely get trimmed off at the next trim. The surface of the frog and edges of the frog are thrush free now, with just the deep sulcus still having some thrush. I will continue to spray into the sulcus at least once a week until it's all healed. I've also noticed that all 4 hooves, the heels have expanded approximately 1 cm in width due to the frogs starting to heal and fill in with healthier tissue. Okay, so now to the downsides... This stuff is a complete mess and it stains anything and everything within 2ft of the spray. Even when I try to spray as slow and easy as I can, it shoots out with such pressure that it bounces off the hoof and all over your arms, clothes, etc. The picture on my review that shows my fingers, you can see blue around my cuticles. I was wearing gloves AND washed immediately. The last time I used the product was exactly 1 week ago and I've had 5 showers since then, and the blue stain remains. It's crazy messy and stains hard. So, if the manufacturer is reading this, PLEASE change how your product is dispensed. I've ruined several pairs of gloves already, 1 pair of pants and 1 shirt. That's not cool. I've opened the bottle and poured the blue liquid into a 4oz vial that has a squeeze dropper and this works WAY better as I'm able to dispense the liquid precisely where it's needed drop by drop without any of it propelling back at me and ruining my clothes and gloves. And using a dropper bottle like this minimizes how much product gets wasted. All in all, though, as an experienced hoof rehab specialist, I haven't found a more effective product to fight bacterial and fungal issues of the hoof. Regardless of the messy and wasteful spray dispenser, it is still very much worth the money paid because it's very effective.
