QUESTION

Tincture of Iodine, 10% formalin and 10% phenol is used in the treatment of?

OPTIONS

(A) Thrush
(B) Canker
(C) Founder
(D) Wind puff

ANSWER

(A) Thrush

EXPLANATION

Thrush is an infection of the equine frog and its sulci, for which older treatments include topical iodine, formalin, or phenol preparations. Canker is a more proliferative hoof disease, founder refers to laminitis, and windpuff is synovial swelling; the caustic formulations cited are historical rather than a blanket current treatment recommendation.
