I have a horse that gets thrush every so often and have tried it all .... Kopertox , thrush buster , mastitis med , dry cow , and triple antibiotic with athletes foot cream , bleach etc etc etc. GET " NO THRUSH ""
Works fantastic !! I do agree you need to get a good farrier on those feet. If you can't find no thrush locally go on eBay.

I am no hoof expert but that's one of the worst hooves I've ever seen. He'd be sore/lame on that hoof even with no signs of thrush. His toe is too long and he has no hoof around the back of his frog?? I don't know what the proper term for that is but it looks painful. As for the thrush...I've had the best luck using penicillin that you buy from TSC and applying it in the cracks with a syringe with no needle. Its really cheap and works within about 3 days.

 I used to have a thrush problem that has completely gone away after fixing the under run/contracted heels issue my horse had. I would use thrush buster and address the trimming issue.

Thanks so much, everyone! 

I have reached out to a lameness farrier and if I can't get a response out of him today I will go down to the next one on my list.

My farrier uses copper sulfate for thrush.  Put a small amout in a water bottle, fill with water, shake it up.  You can poke a hole in the lid and squirt it that way, or use a syringe for better accuracy.  We used to be believers in Thrush Buster, but this works much faster and is cheap.  One bag will last forever.  It kills the thrush without drying out the hoof.
