My pony has got an abscess and the vet came and dug it out. He was absolutely dog lame and so I only turned him out in the day for an hour when the others had come in. The vet advised that I turn him out as normal as long as its dry however the farrier has said to keep him in on box rest? Farrier hasnt seen abscess yet, he is coming tomorrow to have a look how it is going.
I am now unsure what to do?! He is still lame but happy to be out. I have put him out this morning and watched him for a bit, the others do play rough but he seems to be getting on ok. I am currently hot poulticing it. I have wrapped it up with duct tape and a feed bag. I will be going up on my lunch break to check on him.
Would you turn him out in the day as normal or keep him on box rest?
