Watch out for this type of thrush this winter! It is very easy to overlook and can lead to heel pain if let go too far.
〰️ The Dreaded Buttcrack 〰️
Anyone who has been following my page or who I trim for should already know about this, but I can't help posting good examples when I have them!
This is a deep central sulcus infection.
There is missing tissue
The central sulcus is destabilized.
There is infection present - smell your hoofpick to find out.
The split continues into the hairline which can be painful.
This will not clear up on its own - you must treat.
In this case, I'm surprised at how bad it got since last trim cycle. It definitely wasn't here 5 weeks ago.
I opened up the frog flaps and pushed Artimud all the way down into the crevice. Half my finger and the whole pick of my hoof pick disappeared into this.
