    Cryptoid got to my mares. help

    Talked to my vet..he assures me that because the testicle is retained, that the semen is too hot to be viable...so even though he thinks he's "all that", he is sterile...anxiously awaiting cooler weather to take care of that other little problem..he's starting to act real studdy.

    Our horses had fungus, which is different from thrush...we had to clean the small cracks out with a small headed nail then paint them with 7% iodine....this hardens them up and kills the fungus where bleach water will kill the fungus, but it drys the foot out which makes more cracks, which...

    Had this happen, but it was an allergic reaction to a new spray that had iodine in it.. is it sore to the touch? itchy? could have gotten into a wasp nest, mine got stung on the neck and had lots of individual sting sites that sort of merged all together.
