Healthy Hoof Nail Treatment 30 ml

Product Information

The shape changes in a loaded hoof are complex. The plantar arch flattens, the solar concavity decreases in depth, and the heels spread. The hoof diameter increases to a 'dilated' configuration and P3 drops marginally into the hoof capsule. There is some recent evidence that a depression takes place in this phase, with blood pooling ('diastolic phase') mainly into the wall corium. When unloaded, the hoof restores its 'contracted' configuration, the pressure rises and the blood is squeezed out ('systolic phase'). There is a secondary pumping action with the flexion of the foot as it is raised.

To prevent laminitis, a properly formulated high fibre diet is necessary with strict weight control, and regular farrier attention. ABDEL-HAFEZ, A.I.I., MOHARRAM, A.M. and ABDEL-GAWAD, K.M.

This is the exterior part of the hoof that can be seen and encases the internal structures offering a hard layer of protection. The material which makes up the hoof wall is keratin-based, which is also known as ‘horn’. Keratin is a protein and is the same material which makes up human hair and fingernails. It takes approximately 9-12 months for the horn to grow from the coronary band to the toe 1. The hoof wall should be smooth in appearance, with no obvious dips, grooves, lines or bulges. Horses and ponies with brittle or crumbly hooves need to stay on TopSpec Healthy Hoof permanently. We do not recommend reducing the level of supplementation once good hoof quality has been achieved, as there is a significant risk that hoof quality will deteriorate without continuous nutritional support.

The treatment is to scrub out the foot and apply eucalyptus oil (available from most chemists) repeatedly along the grooves of the frog until it clears. The farrier should trim the sides of the frog to remove any damaged tissue. If there is infection and lameness call the vet and follow the advice – it may need poulticing. A stone bruise affects the sole of the horse's foot. It is often caused by a horse treading on a stone or sharp type of object, landings from high jumps and excessive exposure to snow. These can also occur when horses, particularly baby horses, perform various acrobatic feats (known as horse gymnastics). A major symptom is lameness.

You can see that the area of freshly rasped wall at the bottom is exposing damaged hoof horn filled with blood products that provides an ideal environment for infection to take hold.

When viewed from the lower surface, the hoof wall's free margin encircles most of the hoof. The triangular frog occupies the center area. Lateral to the frog are two grooves, deeper in their posterior portion, named 'collateral grooves'. At the heels, the palmar/plantar portions of the walls bend inward sharply, following the external surface of the collateral grooves to form the bars. The lower surface of the hoof, from the outer walls and the inner frog and bars, is covered by an exfoliating keratinised material, called the 'sole'. Echinacea Purpurea– is a traditional herb which improves immunity. Echinacea also has significant antioxidant properties which reduce inflammation. For the LM view, the foot should be marked and photographs taken of the markers in place (and ideally the positions of the markers drawn on the foot).
