Hi, I emphatically urge any of you dealing with founder, laminitis,
navicular or any other hoof problems to check out the egroup
naturalhorsetrim. The founder of this group Gretchen Fathauer has a
web site that quite literally saved Marvins Life.
As for Abscesses and the like, soaking in a one part apple cider
vinegar to three parts warm water will draw out an abscess or other
infection MUCH faster than epsom salts. Marvin has had abscesses pop
even while he was soaking. It really works!
