jody111 RR Vice President (14341) | If its not down in a couple of days can your farrier come out for a nosey (Usually cheaper than vet - mine will call in if hes passing)

jody111 RR Vice President (14341) | I would soak for 10 mins twice a day... with epsom salts to draw it out
One of the ponies has swelled right up the tendon from an abscess....
you could try poulticing it as well to bring it out faster...

if its near the tendon it might not necessarily be lameness coming from the sole. Is he sensitive when you touch him around the area? |
no he quite happy to let me touch there

ColaAppleMuncher RR Citizen (877) | when he got the last 2 absesses, what kind of condition was he in ? Coz I know lots of horses that get absesses when theyre in a certain condition eg wet, muddy paddocks etc?

Lollie RR Vice President (26563) | Last time my friends mare got an absess she wqas chronically lame, no heat or swelling though and she got me to come down and have a look coz she was lost, I couldn't see/feel anything either and we didn't have any hoof testers, then about 15 minutes after I arrived (she'd been lame for over 24 hours, probably atleast 48 before I went and saw her) all of a sudden it started swelling up super fast and got really hot, not sure what caused it to just go BAM and be up, we still had no idea what it was and had tried using other things as hoof testers but she didn't seem sore in her hoof so we just poulticed her leg and she chucked her in a box that night and bandaged and it had gone almost right down by the morning, then a few days later she had her farier out and it was an absess. Formed SO randomly though, like not the process I've seen before so do watch out for swelling and heat over the next few days.

Fudge Lova RR Vice President (21966) | could be bad thrush or something like that, check his feet out

Fudge Lova RR Vice President (21966) | how lame? where...what leg? explain a bit more
get hoof testers and have a prob around, they can go lame on and off, but difficult to really think that its a brewing abcess if there is no heat in the hoof or in the leg with swelling

| Reg 22/3/2006 | | Posted 12:49pm, Wednesday 1st September | |

chasse RR Addict (1929) | i think my horse may have an absess in his foot again hes lame no heat or swelling anywhere my question is do i start socking his foot now
