Rebound hoof pack

摘要

A compound of all natural ingredients allows for treatment of infected, inflamed, and sore hooves without the need for wrapping the hoof with a diaper or vet wrap as is conventional. The compound is packable into the bottom of a hoof. A sugar base allows the compound to stick to the underside of a hoof and remain applied without the wrap. Epsom salts and iodine provide antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, and pine tar provides moisture balance within the hoof in addition to supplementing the stickiness of the compound. Applied compound may be covered with a piece of paper or cloth.
