I read somewhere that abscesses are so painful that a horse will walk like they have a broken leg- or won't walk at all. The first time MB got one, my sister thought he had a broken back, he was moving so poorly! My Boy seemed better today, at least, he wasn't worse! In fact, I think I saw a spot on the sole of his hoof that looked like it could have been an exit point for the goo. Not sure, will have to Paint Girl check it out for me tomorrow. I'm still going to soak it another couple days and see what happens.

My sisters horse has one rig...Abcesses are a PITA!! My sisters horse has one right now. She has been soaking it in epsom salt every day. <br />I hope it is just an abcess in Lilly's hoof, it sure looks like it by the way she is standing. Even though they are a PITA to treat, at least they aren't long term!! I hope she feels better soon. I know how painful they can be for horses!<br /><br />Getty is so stinkin' cute!<br /><br />OMG~ I love those toe warmers!! They have been a huge life saver this week for me. It's been in the low 20's and if it wasn't for toe and hand warmers, I would not have made it!! I am almost out, so need to head back to the store to get more ASAP!! I can't be without them!Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132951832556720515.post-49429940388536673172009-12-05T23:38:13.566-05:002009-12-05T23:38:13.566-05:00Ooooh no, I hope your brumby is feeling better soo...Ooooh no, I hope your brumby is feeling better soon!<br />I recently discovered a product that is THE best thing for abcesses, white line disease, thrush, etc. It's called White Lightning and it kills fungus, bacteria, and spores. It's a bit of a process (you mix it with white vinegar and have to put it in a plastic bag and make a little gas chamber for your horse's hoof). <br />I recently used it when Salem had a little abscess pop out of his coronet. One treatment and it was killed! Although, some stuff may take a few more treatments.<br />If you want to know where to buy it and tips on creating Gas Chamber Hoof, shoot me a line. Oh, and there are pics of me doing this to Salem on his blog .:-)<br /><br />www.dressagewannabes.blogspot.comFrizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132951832556720515.post-48525830537955780472009-12-05T18:30:48.512-05:002009-12-05T18:30:48.512-05:00Poor brumby - if it is an abscess it may take its ...Poor brumby - if it is an abscess it may take its time working its way out - particularly if it's going to exit through the coronet band. Hope it resolves itself soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
