I could, then offer my observations on stuff that works when it comes to treating the pathology. I'll also mention a new invention of mine in a patently transparent attempt to convince folks that it's the only thing to use in treating a variety of problems involving the loss of hoof wall. Unchecked, the infection can destroy the hoof to the extent that it is no longer able to support the horse.
Effective treatment is relatively simple.
The consensus of the veterinary community on the Texas Gulf is that successful treatment must entail debriding all infected hoof wall and the creation of aerobic conditions at the infection site. Chapman's first choice of topicals was benzoyl peroxide, although merthiolate or Durasole have been used with success. He once told me that it doesn't really make much difference what topical is applied as long as aerobic conditions are maintained at the infection site. The conundrum facing veterinarians and farriers when dealing with HWD is that all infected hoof wall must be removed and aerobic conditions must be maintained. The necessity for aerobic conditions and medication precludes the use of most commonly used prosthetic polymers.
