Okay, since I had a few hours to myself yesterday I decided to web surf. I found a great website www.healthyhoof.com and read all of it! I did need some Tylenol afterwards - but... whew!!!! Tons of info there!
Hollywood has long toes, contracted heals and bad frogs. He fit the criteria for thrush. So, I gathered up the sugessted supplies and headed out after dinner to get to work. I don't have soaking boots, something I'm going to get today, so I put him on a rubber mat and hosed down his feet.
After scrubbing the bottom of his feet, I attempted to keep them wet with a water/Lysol mixture for 20 minutes on the rubber mat. Then I squirted antibacterial ointment/athlete's foot fungus cream into every crack and crevace on his frog. I led him to a dry rubber mat to dry out his feet. About 20 minutes later he was dry so I booted him. Mind you, the boots had Gold Bond antifungal powder in them.
Now, according to the website, I'm supposed to do this for a minimum of 5 days. I DON'T THINK I CAN POSSIBLY DO IT!! It took about an hour just to do Hollywood's mani/pedicure!!
Does anyone have a better way??? Oh, please say yes! One can hope, right????
