One additional point - purple spray, waste of time I’m lead to believe, all the goodies were taken out a while ago. The new purple is in fact blue - Alamycin, we source from our local vet.

Not strictly true, IMO.

Purple sprays like Septicleanse are antibacterial and antifungal, and are useful in preventing infection - of wounds, and after foot trimming where no active infection was found, or a very mild case of scald.

Blue antibiotic sprays are effective at knocking out existing bacterial infections. 

I am as guilty as the next person of using the blue spray as a preventative (because it's always to hand and the small tin is easy to have in your kit bag), eg on shearing cuts, but personally I suspect that Septiclense would be more effective as a preventative, and certainly if it's not just bacteria you are concerned about.

100% got told off by my vet for using blue spray as preventative she said nearly word for word what you said above

Cheers Sally, always happy to be corrected
