Apple Cider Vinegar For Healing Horse Wounds

Hock inflammation, also known as bog spavin, is a condition that affects the hock joint in horses, causing pain and swelling. Treatment for hock inflammation typically involves a combination of medication, rest, and corrective shoeing. In more severe cases, joint injections or surgery may be necessary to alleviate the horse's pain and inflammation. Equine veterinarians and farriers can work together to develop a comprehensive treatment plan for hock inflammation, which may also include lifestyle changes such as weight management and exercise modification.

  1. Apple Cider Vinegar For Healing Horse Wounds

  2. Regular horse care entails preparedness for unexpected injury. This can range from minor cuts and scrapes from wire and wooden fencing, saddles, rocks, and other animals to more intense puncture wounds and lacerations, as well as open sores. Deep flesh exposure, especially on the legs where injury to bone is more prevalent, can lead to longer term health problems. Immediate care reduces the risk of infection and a healthier horse overall. How To Use Apple Cider Vinegar On Wounds Your first step when it comes to any kind of puncture wounds, scrapes and bumps is a thorough cleaning of the area with saline solution; and a step that should be repeated daily. Next, mix some pure Apple Cider Vinegar — we suggest Bragg’s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar for its purity and effectiveness — with a little bit of black pepper to make a paste. If you can’t find Bragg’s ACV in your neighbourhood grocery store, any other brand will do as long as the apple cider vinegar is organic. Apply it to the wound, and wrap if possible for faster healing and to prevent scar tissue. Gary, our founder of Equi-Stem Leg Saver, says you should see results after about four days of use! If you find that the pepper aggravates your horse, try spraying ACV –it does not have to be diluted with water — onto the wound or infected area instead.
