Thrush, otherwise known as pododermatitis, is a common hoof infection of horses and ponies.

Thrush can result in pain, puss or bleeding when the hoof is picked, and a foul-smelling discharge. This infection of the hoof is caused by anaerobic bacteria that thrive in environments with no oxygen, such as muddy conditions and dirty stall bedding. Horses and ponies subject to standing in these types of environments for long periods of time are at risk for developing thrush.

Kopertox® is a hoof dressing for horses and ponies recommended as an aid in treating thrush due to organisms susceptible to the active ingredient copper naphthenate. Kopertox® provides antifungal, antiseptic and astringent properties to help eliminate fungal infection and restore hoof health. This product provides water-resistant protection and does not require bandaging.

Remove debris and necrotic material from hooves before using Kopertox®. Apply daily to affected hooves with a small paint brush until fully healed. Do not allow runoff of excess product onto hair since contact may cause some hair loss.

Supplied as either an 8 oz or 16 oz bottle.

Do you have to limit Kopertox only to the hoof and frog area only or can you get it on the heel bulb since my horses is split into there? Will it burn the raw skin?

Asked by: Denise
Hello, It is recommended that this product remain on the hoof as any contact with hair could cause hair loss. For any further instructions, we would recommend reaching out to your veterinarian.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Appears to be working!I’ve never had to deal with white line disease. Before. After using another expensive product gel that wouldn’t stay in my horses toe cracks and using another spray that didn’t seem to get into the cracks it was recommended to try Kopertox. After three applications it appears the cracks are not widening further and my horse is walking better. I use gloves. I pour a small amount into a container and use a small makeup brush to apply it. Do not let it drip on coronet band of horse. Trust me. He will let you know it smarts! I’m going to finish the whole bottle and see if we’ve progressed to a good point. Farrier due soon. Hope he can tell if we have arrested the WLD in the cracks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Kopertox For ThrushI have a horse boarded at a barn where, unfortunately, there's a lot of thrush. I used a couple of other treatments many years ago but then discovered Kopertox. I've been using it exclusively for many years and it works well every time. BTW, Santa Cruz has the best delivered price of anyone I've looked at, on the internet or locally.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Still the bestKoppertox has been the standard for animal foot care for decades. Its the single medication that heals thrush, foot rot, foot scald, soft pads and soles, flystrike and protects. It usually works in just one application. Every barn, shepherd, goatherd, needs to keep this on hand!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Wish it was a spray bottleThis works great on treating thrush- but I do wish it was easier to apply. It definitely makes a mess so wearing gloves is recommended. I wish it came in a spray bottle but I guess that would run the risk of it getting clogged.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works greatWorks great to help control thrush in our wet conditions. I do wish it came in a better designed bottle for application, the current bottle wastes a lot of product. Make sure you wear gloves when applying!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Been using this product for years.Been using this product for years. It always clears up my winter thrush issues on my show horses. Just always remember to wear gloves because it will stain your skin for a couple of days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Kopertox is my go-to for thrush treatmentIt's often a mess to handle and I've heard rumors that it can be rough on the hoof overall, but Kopertox does get rid of thrush. I always keep it around as my go-to for thrush treatment!
