Donkey Hoof Abscess OUCH!

Vienna rapidly becomes lame and in extreme pain with a hoof abscess on the left rear hoof. She can barely walk and this is 3 hours after bute administered. Vet came next day, discovered where it was, drained it, dressed it, gave her a shot of antibiotics and antibiotics for her grain.

Only had one that lingered on and became more infected after the Vet pared it down and burned it out, the problem I believe was the burning with iodine crystals and acetone sealed in some remaining infection, and once that was pared and released again and lots of soaking every day got us on the road to recovery.

translation of last post from isabelleco80 in France or speaks French anyway:

"Instead of to film it and to put it on internet, care for this poor beast, shameful! !!! "

Well, sorry you assume (get it? ass-ume) you think I am filming and not caring for my donks. But I was caring for my donk and trying to help others recognize the symptoms of a hoof abscess.

Sabhalie (yeah theres more).You have demonstrated that you are unable to communicate with a client (or even me, a stranger!) to help them care better for their animals, nor are you able to comprehend that the hoof abscess stems from not only gravel coming in from the exterior but from stone bruises that become abscessed. Perhaps you should educate yourself! Or that after picking hooves in the morning, that they could not possible pick up a gravel during the day. You, are and embarrassment.

Sabhalie, I don't know who you are, or where you got your education (lacking in spelling, Proper is mispelled). But I hope you don't talk to your clients this way, or assume 100% about anything. Your pompous, sanctimonious, attitude does no service to donkeys, nor does it make you, but the poorest of equine hoof practicioners.

I put this video up to help people who have a donk or a horse who suddenly acts like this, to help them understand what could be wrong, not to show an animal in pain. If you look at my other videos you will see that I love my donkeys, I am retired, I have nothing to do but care for them, train them, love them and enjoy them. They are the best thing that ever happened to me.

Now I resent anyone thinking that I caused this or through neglect let this happen. This just happens! My donks hooves are trimmed every 7 weeks and have, their whole lives here. If he cannot determine where the abscess is, and this is not uncommon. then he gives antibiotics and you have to wait for the gravel to work its way up the hoof wall and burst out the top at the hairline. Then the Vet burns out the abscess with iodine crystals and acetone, they feel no pain. This kills the infection.

I hate to see animals in pain! They really have no way to tell us they are hurt. Poor donkey!

1. You should try to drain it

2. Some of you need to be nicer

Also your suppost to get there hooves trimmed every 6 weeks, 1 week can make a difference.

Did they treat this abscess? Because this looks like a worse type of abscess! Poor donkey :(

I can tell you this from experience I had with my horse that had low soles and soft hooves couldn't hold a shoe.I picked his feet twice a day and he still would develop abscesses and he was seen by a farrier every 4 weeks.Genetics plays a role also,in most cases normal hoof care would work.But not horses are the same

Hey, the French eat horses don't they???

Thank you for this video--I think my gelding may have an abcess--vet is on it way. Abcesses are common and can turn a well cared for horse three legged overnite. My TB mare developed one a few years ago despite daily foot care....the good news is that they often heal quickly and completely.

au lieu de le filmer et de le mettre sur internet, soignez cette pauvre bête, c'est honteux!!!!
