How Is Seedy Toe Transmitted?

Seedy toe is often found in conjunction with a club foot or a poor quality hoof horn. Most seedy toe cases are caused by a fungal or bacterial infection, which are common hoof contaminants. This causes weakened keratin, resulting in a crumbling or flaking off of the hoof.

How do you fix seedy toes?

How is seedy toe treated? The separated and necrotic infected horn should be removed by your farrier or veterinarian with a hoof knife, establishing drainage and exposing the infected tissues to air, discouraging growth of anaerobic bacteria.

Is white line disease the same as seedy toe?

Seedy toe, otherwise known as white line disease, is a type of infection that affects the hoof. This condition involves bacterial and fungal invaders, and is caused by other hoof pathologies.
