Yup. He's got some hard-core frog shedding going on by the look of it!
I wouldn' have said abscess as I think he would be atleast a little lame. Looks like shredding.It's the same on all 4 feet
Flash’s frogs look like that at the moment. I had the farrier look when they were like that a while ago, he said it was normal.
It's such a huge relief you all think it's that instead of thrush! Although I think there is some thrush in one of them so I'll keep cleaning them until next week when my trimmer is here.Yep, perfectly normal shedding of the frog, if it wants to come off all well and good but don't force it, they tend to hang on for a little while so that the new frog underneath has time to develop. Once it does come off he could be a little tender for a day or two, which again is normal, it just takes a minute for the new frog underneath to toughen off a bit.
I have, and commented.
Sorry something happened and i got booted off and then couldnt log in for a bit.. Was going to say after today i have noticed the same is happening again. Noticed the start of it. Also forgot to tell u prev post that standing them on hard standing for as long as possible each day helps too and with mine i had to cut feather from the back to let the air get to the areaApologies, your reply was very helpful and I've got the red horse stuff on order. Very reassuring to hear it clears up once the ground dries up, however long that will be!
