You might also try soaking in a lysol/water solution or use Pete's "goo" a
50/50 mixture of athlete's foot cream and triple antibiotic cream.  My friend
found that this helped a lot with a crack that had developed at the toe of her
mare.  Daily soakings really helped resolve it as evidently there was bacteria
and fungus getting into the crack and further weakening the wall. 


That method of Petes really does work well, even in a tropical climate. HOwever
it is labor intensive, as soaking daily is well, yet another daily horse chore.
We have found a product that eliminates the need to soak.

A product called E3Live. You can go to their website, E3liveforhorses.com

If thats not it, try E3live.com

They even have a farrier on staff that you can talk with about the product.

The horse takes it internally, and the hoof heals from the inside out, of course
with good frequent trims as well.

We are now having our clients that have issues with this use this product and
have seen very good results with a lot less fuss and muss.
