Tubbease Hoof Sock
Tubbease
$39.95
Tubbease Hoof Sock is excellent for application and treatment of injuries and diseases such as abscesses, thrush, seedy toe, thin sole, cracks and fissures and general deterioration of the hoof
Tubbease Hoof Sock was developed by Shoof International Ltd following the development of the concept by local farrier Erin Hampson-Tindale.
Erin was trying to solve the problem of how to soak or poultice a hoof without 'stewing' it - as happened much of the time with other regular water-proof boots.
Features include:
- a variety of treatments, poultices or bandages can be applied to the hoof,
- liquid treatment can simply be poured in or over the whole sock once it is on the hoof.
- 'Breathability' of the sock allows liquid to soak the hoof, drain and dry out.
Easy hoof remedies include:
- mixing two tablespoons of zinc-sulphate into one litre of water.
- Epsom salts is another option.
Always secure with the Velcro strap supplied as a bandage is not suitable or adequate.
Replacement straps are available.
These Hoof Socks are not enduring boots.
They are for short term use in confined enclosures by restrained animals.
Size is maximum internal diameter: Purple 75mm, Pink - 110mm, Green - 130mm, Red - 145mm, Blue - 160mm, Yellow - 175mm
