Hi DrO,

A farrier in our area recommended a spray containing the above ingredients as a thrush preventive and treatment. It is extremely effective, and comes with a really thin nozzle which makes application a piece of cake.

I just wanted to check with you that these chemicals are ok for use on horses. (The spray can has only pictures of cattle and sheep, but their website does say the product is for use on all types of animals.)

Many thanks for your time.

Hello LL,
As long as the thrush has not broke through to the sensitive tissue (pink and bleeding) these would be safe LL.
