How do you deliver the treatment for thursh for a horse?

If the case of Thrush is mild enough all you need to do is buy an over the counter medication. Once you have it you should clean out the hoof or hooves that are affected with a hoof pick. Next you'll need to apply the medication, which is usually liquid, but there are powders available. To do this you'll want to wrap gauze around the end of the hoof pick and soak it in the solution, then take the pick / gauze/ solution combo and apply it to the hoof around the frog and any affected area, making sure to thoroughly coat the infected area. The treatment may only take a few days, or it may take longer, it all depends on how bad the case of Thrush is.

There is no alcoholic drink that would relieve the symptoms, if any, associated with thrush, however there are medications a doctor can prescribe that can help numb the mouth if the pain is not tolerable.
