    RE: [RC] Hoof systery hole - Snodgrass, Bonnie


    It may be white line disease. Is the hoof material around the hole, crumbly
    and soft? If so then it is most likely WLD. SBS makes Sav-A-Hoof that will
    treat WLD. Iodine will not kill it. Iodine crystallizes just onthe surface
    and the WLD carries on underneath it. Interestingly, diluted household
    bleach has been effective in treating WLD. SBS availble thru KV Vet and
    other catalogs.

    Hey everyone, 
    One of my horses has a wierd little hole at the toe that never goes away.  I
    
    thought it was white line disease but the farrier said not.  No matter how 
    much is rasped away it is always there.  and I stuck a nail up in it and it 
    went about an inch!!  To my knowledge he has not had an abscess and it is in
    
    both front feet. It usually cracks up about an inch ot an inch and a half , 
    but recently farrier rasped it and put these little plates over it so it 
    wouldn't crack anymore.  Well, that was fine until the plates came off and
    it 
    started all over again.  I have been putting iodine up in the whole just
    this 
    week to see if it will help but I'm stumped.  
    My other horse doesn;t get them and they are both on a trace mineral 
    supplement and biotin...
    Help
    Paula
