HOOF WRAPPING MADE EASY: • A short video by Dr. Christina Wilson demonstrating how to easily wrap your horse's hoof. • A hoof wrap is very commonly used when treating horses with foot abscesses. We hope this video will show you how easy it is to properly wrap a hoof. • In order to perform a professional quality hoof wrap you will need the following supplies: • Roll cotton or gauze • An epsom salt/bran poultice, preferably made by Stayons®. Magna Paste™ or Sugardine can also be used. • Vet wrap™ • Duct tape • Hoof pick and scissors • Preparation: Make a duct tape square which will later be used to create a custom boot for the hoof. Rip strips of duck tape and use a wall to place them vertically, overlapping each strip halfway. Continue until a rough square is formed a little bigger than the size of the hoof. Then do the same thing in a horizontal manner. Use scissors to cut a slit in each corner to make it easier to fold over the hoof later. • Steps: • 1. Pick up the foot, and use your pick and brush to clean the hoof well. • 2. Apply the poultice wrap or ointment. • 3. Apply the cotton or gauze to the bottom of the foot. Even a baby diaper works well for padding. • 4. While holding the pad in place wrap the hoof with vet wrap making sure to go above the coronary band and heel bulbs. • 5. Take your duct tape square and place over bottom of hoof Be sure to fold over the corners covering each side hoof. • 6. Place the foot on the ground and reinforce with duct tape around the top as needed. • *Make sure the bandage is not too tight around the pastern. You should be able to fit a finger under the bandage and see the wrinkles in the vet wrap. Cutting a small slice in the vet wrap at the front of the foot will also help to make sure it's not too tight. • • Find us at http://equiheartvet.com/ • Follow us on Facebook / equiheartvet
