Clean trax vs white lightning8/4/2023 ![]() ![]() With every case of laminitis, it is essential that the cause has been correctly identified and removed/treated, as well as that the feet are correctly realigned and supported. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science Volume 34, Issue 4, Pages 556–564, April 2014 ![]() Taylor D, Sperandeo A, Schumacher J, Passler T, Wooldridge A, Bell R, Cooner A, Guidry L, Matz-Creel H, Ramey I, Ramey PĬlinical Outcome of 14 Obese, Laminitic Horses Managed with the Same Rehabilitation Protocol During periods of active abscess formation and/or drainage of exudates from the sole, owners were advised to soak the feet 3 to 5 times weekly in either magnesium sulfate solution or 50% acetic acid solution ( TLS comment: we suspect this means 50% apple cider vinegar:50% water solution). Their soles were treated with topical tetracycline and/or metronidazole. Other treatments suitable for sub-solar abscesses should be suitable for treating P3 penetrations, such as White Lightning, 50% apple cider vinegar:50% water, warm water and Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) - see Abscesses.ĥ of the 14 horses in Dr Debra Taylor's published rehabilitation protocol had solar necrosis/prolapsed solar coriums (all of the horses recovered). ![]() CleanTrax is used on humans to treat deep-seated nail infections and on open wounds/surgeries to eliminate the risk of secondary infections. CleanTrax contains a proprietary hypochlorous compound which is non-necrotizing and has no adverse effects on normal, healthy cells but eliminates infection from bacteria, fungi and spores. Several professionals report good results from soaking solar penetrations with CleanTrax (available from Equine Podiatry Supplies in the UK). Baby nappies (diapers) can be useful for draining exudate away from the foot and providing cushioning. Horses with solar penetration will usually require soaks and/or poulticing and/or topical applications to prevent or treat infection in the foot, and the feet may need to be kept covered. Collateral groove depths should guide the trim. W ell marked lateral radiographs should always be taken to guide the trim, but if not available, as the sole grows from and is an extension of the bottom of P3, everything behind the exposed P3 is likely to be sole, and everything in front is likely to be laminar wedge/toe.
