More Info
White Line Disease, also called onychomycosis, is an infection of the hoof wall of horses. Onychomycosis does not attack the outer wall but the area of the insensitive white line that joins the outer wall to the sensitive tissues of the foot. The result is a disruption of the supporting tissues of the hoof wall. Over time the infection works its way from the bottom of the hoof wall up creating a cavity that may be hard to detect initially. This disease is frequently confused with focal infections of thrush that have become established in defects in the white line. This article discusses the appearance, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of this disease which seems to be growing more common.
