How to cure founder in horses?

Answer 1

Well you can give it painkillers, make sure there stalls bedded lots, watch what you feed them (not to much) and you make sure you keep up good hoof care for them.

You can remedy Founder by putting Epsom Salts in their feed and water or by cutting off their food supply completely. Do this by putting them in a dirt floor stock yard or any other yard the horse cannot have access to food. I know what you're thinking! This is not cruel! It benefits the horse more than harms it. Do remember to provide fresh water with Epsom Salts. Occasionally, like every 2nd or 3rd day, you can give the animal 1 biscuit of plain hay. Don't feel sorry for the horse. If you continue to feed your foundered horse, the end result will be a can of Pal. Sorry, but that's the way it is. And remember to keep trimming the feet to keep them in good order.

Answer 2

There is no real medicine to treat the founder itself. However equine veterinarians will typically put a horse on antibiotics for infections, anti-endotoxins to reduce bacterial toxicity. Anticoagulants and vasodilaters to help reduce blood pressure and increase the flow of blood to the feet. to prevent founder you need to manage your horse carefully and prevent it from getting too much grain or too fat, which are the leading causes of founder in horses.
