Over 3 weeks ago had a visit from the vet as horse presented very lame, literally fell out of stable when I took him out that evening. Vet came following day, tried farrier but no joy. Vet put the hoof testers on, positive result then excavated to find abscess. I've followed advice to the letter with the usual treatment, poultice, epsom salts and also used manuka honey. Farrier came out and said that vet had done all he could. There's still no real improvement though!! This horse has always been barefoot and in 8 years of ownership this is my first abscess. Do they really take this long to sort out? Fed up is an understatement. Any advice most welcome, thanks x
