Thrush and borax

[mogadoga]

Has anyone ever heard of it or used it for thrush? Someone is selling it on ebay and i wikapedia'd it lol, its for cleaning pans etc but also for thrush in horses it said. I texted my farrier and hes not heard of this...ideas?
Alex is a bad sufferer of it and i cant seem to get rid of it without another bout coming alone, im hoping this may be a magic cure...

Yes, it's good as a foot soak for thrush :)

I don't think that it should be used with shoes though (or is that miltons?)

i used it when j was shod, dont know if i should have or not but it did do the trick!

I've used it & it's OK but I've found cider vinegar & the Pioneer soaps to be more effective for a really set-in infection. You can pick it up cheap from Wilco - wouldn't bother with eBay!

Borax is ok with shoes. Putting MSM cream on afterwards as well, crammed into anywhere thrush can lurk, is usually very effective.

I already got it really cheap on ebay tbh dont have time to go out for anything! Really busy with the shop! Thanks everyone!

I bought a big box full from Boots at the begining of the year for just over a £1 as my horse was on box rest and was getting thrush. Worked a treat!
