My farrier recommends White Lighting and so far it's making a huge difference for my horse. It is a very mild solution that you mix with white wine vinegar and water then vet wrap the boot around the leg so the gasses work their magic on the disease. You repeat the soak 2-3 times a week for 40 - 45 minutes for the first 4-6 weeks and then about once a month for maintenance after that.
Here's a link to it. https://www.grandcircuitinc.com/
You use 2oz each time mixed in equal parts with the vinegar and enough water to come halfway up the hoof. I bought the 64oz, glad I did.
Clean Trax is another solution you could try but my farrier likes white lightning better: https://www.kvsupply.com/KVVet/productr.asp?pf_id=50318&gift=False&0=dept%2Easp%2 Cdept_id%3D198%26Tree%3D%2CComplete%20Catalog&1=dept%2Easp%2Cdept_id%3D122%26Tre e%3D0%2CEquine&2=dept%2Easp%2Cdept_id%3D1107%26menu_id%3D%26Tree%3D1%2CHoof%20Ca re%20%2F%20Farrier&3=dept%2Easp%2Cdept_id%3D556%26menu_id%3D%26Tree%3D2%2CHoof%2 0Care%20Dressings&HSLB=False&refcode=Google&gclid=CJ_rttX82LACFUQ0QgodRV-Z3w
Oh, you want the liquid, not the gel. And you might want to invest in a Clean Trax boot, the ones that come in the kit with the White Lightning will need a serious coating of Gorilla Tape if you don't want them to rip the first time you use them. Here's a link to Clean Trax boot: https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=3190032a-6d05-4ffb-a539-4591c1bf9 bff&gas=clean%20trax%20boot

If you are still a member Paula... I'm wondering if your friend had any success with the VirKon product in treating the white line disease?

HorseAdvice.com » Diseases of Horses » Lameness » Diseases of the Hoof » White Line Disease or Onychomycosis Welcome Stephanie,
I want to take a moment to point out it is not what you treat with as much as how aggressively you remove the diseased areas, see the article HorseAdvice.com » Diseases of Horses » Lameness » Diseases of the Hoof » White Line Disease or Onychomycosis for an explanation of this.
