Well, I have a brown quarter horse mare and she has that type of stuff in her left front hoof to! I will be able to rider her naxt thursday. MAYBE lol hope ur cute horse feels better :)
That was a good video. Im looking at a mare for sale right now and she has a abscess as well. She is a thoroughbred, so the owner said she is going to get shoes for her because something about their sole/frog being sensitive?
I have sent your link to my Veterinarian, he was very impressed but unfamiliar with the kit you used. He told me abscesses were very common especially in the rainy and cold months here in Michigan.
I'm sorry about the time you had with your horse. The donkeys & horses with abscesses I've seen, have been in a good deal of pain & they've lost most of their mobility. I like anything that speeds up the time of recovery, & the Poultice Pack really worked well for Ellie. She lives outside in the pasture & with this treatment we didn't even attempt to stable her. The poultice wrap stayed on securely for the entire seven days from bandage change to bandage change. -Health to you & your horses.
The kit is a Poultice Pack made by HoofSolutions. Your vet is right on, because abscesses couple with variable climates. The abrupt change in saturation (or lack of it) and temperature can change the terrain quicker than the hoof capsule can adapt. Hoof structures grown in dry months behave differently in respect to the ground surface, than those accustomed to high levels of moisture and frozen ground. I've spent some time in Michigan, and the winters can be chilly!
Yes, I have experienced a similar situation with my 14 year old AQHA Gelding. It was a puncture from a roofing nail and he developed a nasty abcess. I thought that he had a broken leg, he would not stand on it at all. It cost me over $350.00 before it was cleared up. I wish I had seen this series and had the poultice pad and bandage kit, it would have been much simpler. The pad we used was wet with warm water and we had to change it twice each day, it took almost 2 weeks to make progress with it
This a nice series that explains so much about the process of healing the horse's foot after a puncture. Thanks for the insight and information. Kudo's to you Ruth!
This was a delightful video. Although this issues of this subject matter are not relevant to my main interests, I found the process to be informative and impressive. I am appreciative of the use of "proper" terminology and feel that I am walking away from this video with another layer of information added to my 'memory bank'
Sorry the video didn't have the content you wanted. This video deals with the mare's particular injury and how her treatment progressed. The content included is for horse owners who want to take care of the well-being and health of their animal.

Very interesting.

That Wrap will not do anything to promote healing or even make the horse more comfortable. It will only cost the horse owner excess time and money.

@hoofrise You must be male. Only males are always right about everything.

Thank you for the kudos. I'm glad it was insightful. Have you had to manage a sole puncture before?
