So many sleepless nights worrying about injuries and hoof abscesses. Great write-up on how to prevent infection and properly dress a wound. I’ve always found the tricky part is keeping the bandages in place without them slipping off over time.
I have a horse that is difficult to handle, even under some sedation. Is it possible to treat an abscess with antibiotics or sulfer? How about drawing salve on the foot?
