HI
Can I please hear some of your experiences with abscesses, my 2 year old has been lame for 2 weeks now and walking on his toe, so to speak. On day 2 had black smith out who thought no abscess, maybe bruised or banged hoof. Day 3 had vet out couldnt find anything no real answers. Day 7 took to a vet who specialises in horses had x rays done of hoof and all good. Advised me that it is a waiting game and that she is very sure it is an abscess. With my horse having such hard feet it will probably work its way up and out. It is so upsetting to see him in so much pain, there has never been any heat or swelling any where on the leg. It would be peace of mind that other people have dealt so long with an abscess. Thank you in advance for any advice.
