Question 1

why did it get thick and opaque?  Can it still work?

Accepted Answer

Yes it’ll still work. I mix mine with a stick. It’ll will have a color change but it works.

Question 2

Can you use venice turpentine when thrush is already present?  Should it be used in conjunction with a thrush product?

Accepted Answer

Venice turpentine is to harden hooves not to treat thrush.  I recommend you consult your vet and farrier about your question as they are more equipped to answer it than an Amazon shopper.

Question 3

Where do you apply this? to the hoof or the bottom on the sole?

Accepted Answer

The sole or out side of the hoof ,just not to the hair line

Question 4

How different is this from Magic Cushion?

Accepted Answer

Venice Turpentine is a natural resin that has properties that pull out heat and the results of pounding for whatever reason. It's been used for centuries and is the main ingredient in most hoof packing compounds. It would be best for more accute problems. 
Absorbine Hooflex Magic Cushion was developed by veterinarians and farriers as a natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic for the equine athlete. It provides relief from the soreness resulting from the everyday rigors of training, as well as ailments such as laminitis, white line disease, pedal osteitis, abscesses, navicular syndrome, bruising, corns, canker and any concussive trauma to the hoof tissues.

Absorbine conducted a thermal imaging study in 2012 that helped illuminate the beneficial effects of using Hooflex Magic Cushion hoof packing, and it was pretty fascinating. It showed that after only one hour of standing in a Magic Cushion hoof wrap, there was significant decrease in hoof heat, and that the product continues to work for up to 24 hours.

Heat in the hoof is the best way to determine if there has been trauma to the area or to feel if the horse might be a bit sore. Therefore, a product that helps draw out the heat will help in the healing and soothing process, giving you a sounder and happier horse after it
