Sole Injuries

 

“My horse had a run in with some wire, so on the one side of his hoof from the coronet band to the heel and some hoof are gone,”…

He is still walking well. My question is would white lotion be good for it? Also to let you know the sole is coming back.

Dr. Kimberly Gryl’s Answer:

Lea:

I am not familiar with white lotion, and thus do not know what it is used for. However, you should have him shod with an eggbar shoe and have your farrier “float” the heel, to protect the foot and enable new growth in as regular a manner as possible. A hoof supplement may help him grow a stronger foot.
