Hoof Putty is Keratex’s answer: a malleable wax carrying slow-release organic disinfectants and antibacterials, which you warm in your hands and press into the cavity until it is level with the surrounding horn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is self-adhesive and flexible, so it moves with the foot instead of cracking out, and Keratex say it will not drop out or deteriorate in the hole. It will also hold a tube in place if the cavity is being flushed or drained. The 200g tin is enough for repeated packing through a recovery, and it is a management aid rather than a treatment — the vet or farrier still runs the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable wax carrying slow-release organic disinfectants and antibacterials.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeals and waterproofs horn separation cavities so germs, grit and water stay out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-adhesive and flexible — Keratex state it will not drop out or deteriorate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks against the fungal and bacterial organisms typically found in these cavities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill hold a tube in place where a cavity is being flushed or drained.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardens once packed to give a firm seal level with the surrounding horn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCavities left by a drained abscess.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeedy toe and white line separation after resection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePuncture holes in the sole that need sealing while they grow out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShod and unshod feet alike, with the shoeing proviso below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a filler for cosmetic wall cracks in a sound foot — Keratex Hoof Hardener is the product for weak, chipping horn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart with a clean, dry hoof and clean, dry hands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork a piece of putty in your hands until it softens and turns tacky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress it firmly into the cavity until it sits level with the surrounding horn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn an unshod foot, check weekly and replace as needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn a shod foot, only cold shoeing or gluing should be used over the putty, and it must be replaced at the next shoeing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200g tin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeratex barcode 5036486000062.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeratex describe the composition only as a malleable wax containing slow-release organic disinfectants and antibacterials, and publish no ingredient list, so none is stated here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Keratex hoofcare range alongside Hoof Gel, Hoof Wash and Mud Shield Powder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eCare \u0026amp; Caution\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever pack a cavity that is still discharging or has not been assessed — sealing infection in is worse than leaving it open.
