I thought my horse was picking up a little yesterday but this am found him worse. Swelling had enlarged so called vet out as emergency. He confirms it is an abscess that may be getting deeper seated. Great! Given him antibiotic shot and anti-inflammatory jabs. Plus left me anti-biotic powders and danilon.
I think I'll try and put warm packs over the abscess to see if I can ripen it and draw the rubbish out. I believe the silica homeopathic remedy has helped it change from a hard lump to a softer squish mass which appears to be forming a crown. I never have any damn hepar sulphur when I need it as this is ideal for treating abscesses. Great believer in homeopathy as it definitely complements vet treatment.
He is stabled and looks very down with a depressed appetite. Had loads of cuddles this am. He is finding it painful to lower his head to graze but fortunately can cope with eating from wall manger and haybar.
No competitions for a while as he'll take a few weeks to get over this. But his welfare is more important.
