Melissa asked about horse's bad shoe boil…

Dr. Dan…

Any natural remedies for a bad shoe boil? It is at least the size of a golf ball. We have been massaging and trying to work it out. He is really sore on his leg. We are also taking him on long walks and running cold water down it for 10-15 minutes. Rubbing Arnica on it is well. What would you advise?  

Thanks,  Melissa

Our Grape Balm topically on a daily basis. It actually has a "drawing" type effect as well as super for any open wound.  I would suggest Silicea as well- 30 potency daily.
