Good luck with the Milton , think milton will kill bacteria but isnt thrush a fungal infection? I'd be interested to know if it works.X

Ah, the delights of equine distal limb thrush! It can be baterial or fungal. So what works for one may not work for another. Saying that, a recommendation for something successful from someone in the same area as you might be the best way to go. As the infections can be passed on from horse to horse, they are often the same infection covering a large locality.

I foud peroxide good too but was told by my EP that it also kills off the top good layer of cells leaving a perfect place for the thrush to re grow.

I have started using Life Data Hoof Disinfectant which is working nicely, well my EP was happy saturday
