I got a horse that went suddenly lame in hind leg no swollen areas , digital pulse and reactive to hoof tester. What coul be a part an abscess? Could I miss something else maybe upwards ? the horse didn't want to put down the feet mainly standing but was able to walk even if v lame....
 
Don't understand your query. Do you mean NO digital pulse and NO reaction to hoof testers or the other way round? Don't know what the sentence about an abscess means. Have you had the vet out? A horse that is suddenly very lame could indeed be something as simple as an abscess or even a stone wedged in the frog. But it could also be a hairline fracture. I'd get the vet immediately.
