Consequences |
Good, sound hooves are indispensable for the proper functionality of the horse.
If such an infection is not discovered and treated in time, it will spread and affect ligaments, joints, tendons and bursa, which increases the chances of abscesses in the hoof, excess wear of the joints, infection of the navicular bones and broken tendons. Eventually the horse will go permanently lame. The quality of the hoof will rapidly degenerate. If correct treatment is not administered in time, the damage to the horse can become irreparable.
