Dealing with seedy toe

  • This horse has a nasty case of seedy toe which is a anaerobic bacterial infection that enters the hoof wall/laminae junction via cracks, injuries or separation of the hoof wall, and then propagates very quickly in the non-oxygenated environment.
    Here I'm removing the necrotic material and opening up the cavities to try and stop it spreading.

    I have no interest in horses or anything farm related and have no idea why this showed up in my recommended. But... I watched the whole video, it was well narrated, the shots were interesting, you seem very experienced, I even googled a few pages to understand what seedy toe is. In short, I'm still not interested in horses but your videos are extremely well put together if they can hold someone like myself's attention.

    As someone who knows nothing about farrier work, it seems like the forging is the least of it and learning all about the foot and its diseases is the hard part. You are sort of a horse podiatrist.

    Late comment but thank you for taking careful care of that horse. As a father of a special needs child, it means so much to us parents when someone recognizes the importance of some things. It is clear to me that not only are you caring for that horse, you are making sure that horse can spend as much time with that child.

    My family comes from old time farming and vets were a luxury. When our horses came down with those cracks we used copper-sulfate and packed the crack & holes after we cleaned it THROUGHLY. Soak the hoof first after cleaning and the pack with crystal copper-sulfate and cotton balls to keep the crystals in place. Clean & soak every other day until crack grows out. This works amazingly!

    You do a very neat job, wish our farriers would take as much care as you do! A horse nutritionist once told me that seedy toe can sometimes be caused, or at least exacerbated, by too much sugar not being balanced out by other vitamins or minerals, especially in horses who are prone to founder. No idea if it's true or not, just putting it out there. If the cause is fungal I guess too much sugar could make the environment favourable for fungus to grow. If the young owner is anything like my autistic son, he'll sneak down to the paddock and load the horse up with way too many sugar cubes!

    • @garyhuston

    • @Adrianyoutubing
      @Adrianyoutubing Před 7 lety +8

      dyingsun23 I have no idea about horses, just love skilled workers, but if sugar is an issue, and you said in the vid that summer causes a different client's horse to suffer, is there an orchard or berry bush near the paddock, the horses might be snacking on natural sugar sources around the area. just a thought.

Half a minute tops 2 minutes are the durations of the videos. But most farriers didn’t have any Subscribers, that explains why! 🤔Thank you for sharing your great job with the horses.

  • @Shewolfen
    @Shewolfen Před 5 lety +10

    all the ground pressure on that excessive wall is likely what caused the white line stretching that opened it up to the infection getting in. Ive been using a different approch instead of severe rececting. Been doing frequent trims 4 weeks in between touching up the wall with a handheld surform shaver once a week, keeping the walls trimmed back with lots of break over around it to minimise any leverages, and using a product called sav-a -hoof (for thrush and whiteline disease) to heal it from the inside out and get it to grow out. I'm seeing great results. A horse with severe problems was almost sent to slaughter because of chronic lameness is now sound and showing great wall integity as the hoof is growing down. To me this is a more effective solution because if the horse has this much whiteline disease at the toe, chances are it's in the quarters too, it looks like it might be in the outside quarter flare shown. Some feet get so bad you'd have to take off so much wall it would compromise the integrity of the hoof capsule too much.

    Lovely clear and concise video :-) what a good old girl the mare was too.
    If she has just come back from a bout of Laminitis - cushings related at a guess looking at her coat/eyes/weight distribution? - then it is quite possible that she has had some separation of the white line/laminae which has allowed grit to compact and set up the fungal infection... That could be why the client with the horse who gets seedy toe behind every summer has issues too? Worth both of those clients testing for EMS and Cushings.
    I do like that you take back the fungal tract to the 'root' as it were. Even though seedy toe is an anaerobic fungus, a lot of farriers will only open up the toe and not follow the tracts back, which I think defeats the object all together!
    I'll definitely be watching some more of your video's, thank you for your clarity x

  • @midnightslea7424
    @midnightslea7424 Před 5 lety +8

    Flaring due to the laminitis, as is the rapid growth. I'd dispute the laminitis not being related to diet too as you said there's plenty of grass (likely chronic, sub-clinical). Limit the grass, off hard feed, exercise... and balance the feet better. Treating the symptom well there but eliminating the causes is the key! I say this with respect. Nicely cleaned up :)

      @@garyhuston Of course, owners are almost always the hardest part of hoof-care. I'm commenting for several reasons, the primary one being the exchange of helpful information - which might help owners be more proactive in preventing such issues rather than leave it to us to fix. You do also say "I'm not sure why..." several times in the video and, as I say, I comment with all due respect.

    So interesting. My father did this his whole life up until I was born and I've never learned. Great to learn at least the basics of how to clean a horse hoof.

    I have an exam the day after tomorrow about horse foot pathology + the process of applying horseshoes & their importance. Your videos explain a lot of stuff and I actually can see the process, not just read about it and try to imagine. Thank you, your videos are very educative :)

    A mixture of natural pine sap + turpine and fine saw dust applied very warm is like a natural epoxy resin which kills bacteria .
