Resection of the hoof wall in a bad case of Seedy Toe

This is an example of a bad case of Seedy Toe. The only way to get to the bottom of this fungal infection is to trim away all the necrotic tissue and get in back to solid strong horn. The foot then needs to be made stable by use of a hoof re-building resin so that a shoe can be attached. Click on one of the images below to see the full case study.
