Has anyone used blue merl‘s homeopathic foot rot drench? We use the orf drench with good results just wondering if the footrot drench is as good.

Well, that's a new one on me - we've always stood them in our footrot remedies, not poured them down their throats.
Have you got a link to it?

It's out of the book

I expect sore feet would probably be well down the list of problems after dose of formalin

While I certainly miss @bovine ‘s contributions, I don’t think we really need him to type it in this case.

I bet you anything if you had a sore foot and you took a sip of formalin... you'd stop complaining of your sore foot.
Think it's fair to say on that basis... it would work

Tried drinking formalin once, 30 odd years ago. Thought it was water. Realised something was wrong straight away and spat it out without swallowing any. Next 5 minutes were not good. Couldn't breath, thought I was going to die. Managed somehow to convey what I had done to boss resulting in very white face and jaw hitting the floor! Frantic phone calls followed by break neck speed journey to local hospital. Air ambulance was put on standby. Spent 3 days in hospital, just under observation really. No after effects apart from face peeling like a bad dose of sunburn. If I'd swallowed the stuff they said it would probably have burnt straight thru me.
You wouldn't believe how sweet it tastes.

Thanks for the big build-up!Maybe we could press that other fine vet, and breeder of top shedding tups @Woolless for his thoughts on homeopathy? He won’t take the moral high ground and huff like the other gentleman!
I'm no expert on homeopathy but I believe it's herbal remedies watered down and as such very unlikely to have a significant effect. If you want to use something a little more forgiving than formalin, try Provita's Hoofsure endurance in your footbath. I very unusually had a bad outbreak of scald just at weaning time two years ago and it cleared that up. Contains tea tree oil.

Not only is it watered down, but the more you dilute it the more potent the remedy becomes. It's all abut the energy memory in the molecules apparently.

Quantum physics may hold the answer in the future, who knows.Not only is it watered down, but the more you dilute it the more potent the remedy becomes. It's all abut the energy memory in the molecules apparently.

I tried that approach with whisky and I would have to say the results were disappointing...Not only is it watered down, but the more you dilute it the more potent the remedy becomes. It's all abut the energy memory in the molecules apparently.

My late uncle was a vet.He was not very complimentary on homeopathic veterinary treatments.

My cousin was using homeopathic heptavac for several years with no problem,then lost a third of his lambs with dysentery. That changed his attitude pretty quickly. We stopped orf vaccines when they were unavailable and haven't had a problem since so if I was using homeopathic orf treatment it would like it's working, until there's a breakdown. It may work but not for me.
