I have only had cause to use it on a couple of occasions but it worked well for scald when I did. Never had CODD so can't comment on that.

Using it as we speak, found it better on codd than formalin! Using on lambs now as seem to be very lame

I bought 2 5litre bottles of it in spring and wasn’t overly impressed... footbathed housed ewes every other day for 2 weeks and didn’t make a difference too foot issues but they didn’t get worse... maybe the straw in there toes stopped it working I guess

when I had CODD the only thing that worked was injectable, mainly only the fecking expensive ones at that , was surprised to see the claims that this will treat it but maybe not ...

All I did last year was bath ewes for codd, never seen anything so bad in all my days!! Probably a number of things that helped get on top of it, eg....splitting the lame ones off into a group on their own, clean the bath out every other day, have them in every day!! Didn’t get on well with injectable a formalin you mays well pîss in the foot bath!! Different things seem to work on different places

I bought a bottle of hoofsure combat and sprayed it 3 times on a ewe for a mild case of foot rot. Total waste of time and ended up using the standard antibiotic spray which cleared it up and was less painful for the ewe. The bottle is still on the shelf and I have never used it again.

I'm not sure that the footbath would be effective against footrot either but I would want to be treating that with an injectable anyway. It certainly made a big difference to the scald problem I had that year.
