Adherence-aided therapeutic horse hoof packing

A method of treating a horse hoof having a thrush condition, including cleaning the hoof bottom wall of debris, depositing onto said hoof bottom wall an adherent, rapidly curing synthetic organic resin composition, said resin composition having dispersed throughout for continuing hoof bottom wall contact an effective amount of-an anti-microbial ion donor that does not block curing of said composition, said deposited resin composition having a viscosity to flow freely to conform to the contours of said hoof bottom wall, thereafter curing said resin composition to a solid in situ on said hoof bottom wall in wall-adhering relation, the amount of anti-microbial ion donor, when dispersed in the organic resin, being effective for the treatment of thrush, and removing said cured resin solid after an effective period of treatment.

A method of treating a horse's hoof for thrush, including cleaning the hoof bottom wall of debris, depositing onto said hoof bottom wall an adherent, rapidly curing synthetic organic resin composition, said resin composition having dispersed throughout for wall contact an amount of a thrush medicament comprising a copper salt, the amount of said copper salt being limited so that it does not block curing of said composition, said deposited resin composition having a viscosity to flow freely to conform to the contours of said hoof bottom wall before curing, curing said resin to a solid in situ on said hoof bottom wall, and removing said cured resin after an effective period of treatment, the amount of copper salt in combination with said deposited resin being effective to treat thresh.

A method of treating a horse's hoof for thrush, including cleaning the hoof bottom wall of debris, depositing onto said hoof bottom wall an adherent, rapidly curing synthetic organic resin composition, said resin composition having dispersed throughout for wall contact an amount of a thrush medicament comprising a copper salt, said amount of copper salt being effective to treat thrush without blocking curing of said medicament containing resin composition, said deposited resin composition having a viscosity to flow freely to conform to the contours of said hoof bottom wall before curing, curing said resin to a solid in situ on said hoof bottom wall, and removing said cured resin after an effective period of treatment.

A method of treating a horse's hoof for thrush, including cleaning the hoof bottom wall of debris, depositing onto said hoof bottom wall an adherent, rapidly curing urethane resin composition comprising Part A and Part B urethane resin precursors, at least one Part having an amount of a copper salt disbursed therein, said copper salt being effective to treat thrush but said amount to not being effective to block said curing of said resin composition upon mixing of said Part A and Part B precursors when dispersed therein, said deposited resin composition having a viscosity to flow freely to conform to the contours of said hoof bottom wall before curing, curing said resin to a solid in situ in said hoof bottom wall with said dispersed copper salt in wall contact, and removing said cured resin and medicament after an effective period of treatment.

A method of treating a horse's hoof for thrush with a urethane resin composition that is detrimentally effected by the presence of moisture comprising depositing onto the bottom wall of said hoof a wall-adherent, rapidly curing urethane resin composition comprising two-part urethane resin precursors, at least one part of said two-part precursors having disbursed therein a small but effective amount of an adjuvant that is hygroscopic against moisture reaction of said urethane resin composition and is effective, when disbursed in said resin composition, for treatment of thrush and that does not block curing of said resin composition upon mixing of said precursors, said deposited resin composition having a viscosity to flow freely to conform to the contours of said hoof bottom wall before curing, and curing said resin to a solid in situ on said hoof bottom wall.

A method of treating a horse's hoof for thrush, said hoof having a hoof bottom wall, comprising feeding from a pair of cartridges each containing different reactive urethane resin precursors, said precursors being fed through a static mixer to combine same, one or both of said resin precursors including a thrush medicament in an effective amount effective to treat thrush without preventing curing of said combined resins, forming a rapidly curing urethane resin from said precursors in an amount suitable for covering said hoof bottom wall, conforming said urethane resin to the contours of said hoof bottom wall, curing said urethane resin in situ, and later removing said urethane resin and medicament.

A thrush treatment for application to a horse's hoof having a hoof bottom wall, said treatment comprising a synthetic organic resin composition having distributed there through a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-thrush medicament, said effective amount of anti-thrush medicament not interfering with polymerization of the synthetic organic resin composition so as to form a solid structure conforming to and adhered to said hoof bottom wall.

A thrush treating product comprising separate precursors reactive upon mixing to form a synthetic organic resin, one of said precursors comprising an effective amount of an anti-thrush medicament, and a mixing structure for uniformly mixing said precursors and said medicament adjacent a horse hoof bottom wall to a viscosity adapted to substantially conform to and fill the spaces of a bottom wall surface in adhering relation, said resin precursor polymerizing to form a solid resin in the spaces, said amount of the medicament not interfering with the said polymerization.

A thrush treating system having separately packaged resin precursors to be mixed in reactive proportions, and a therapeutically effective amount of a disbursable solid anti-thrush medicament dispersed in one or more of said precursors, said amount ineffective to block a reaction of said precursors.
