Wall abscesses are relatively rare, usually much more localized, and when drainage is established, (usually with a drill) an exudate is invariably present - it’s what caused the hydraulic pressure and the resultant pain. Yes’m, you apparently missed looking at the picture. So? It’s too late to worry about the past, the problem is in real time.Īlso Rick and others where was WLD mentioned? Did I miss something? The feet don’t look in tip top shape to start with. What makes you think the farrier “went nuts with his knife?” If the wall is separated and hanging by a flap, removing the separated wall is most often exactly the right thing to do. The only place live tissue was invaded is in the uppermost lateral toe quarter and the extent of the invasion is impossible to discern from the picture however, given the relatively small amount of blood, it appears little sensitive tissue was invaded because laminae bleed like hell.ĭo you have any pictures before the farrier went nuts with his knife? Why oh why would someone feel it necessary to cut an abscess hole to LIVE TISSUE? Irishcas in gray, two posts combined, stuff deleted Wish me luck that we keep his other feet cold! He is still very pathetic and I know it really really hurts. The key now though is quality not quantity! So I have him on the best hoof supplement money can buy. I am very lucky in the fact that he grows hoof and hair like a weed. (Yes I understand that all of the hoof is dead, but you already know I mean weak points) Let him toughen up and rough them up so that all of the dead and unhealthy hoof breaks off. After he gets some good growth under him, the farrier really wants me to pull his shoes. Once he is sound were going to fill it so that we can put his normal shoe on for support and he can do his other hooves. So he has me thrushbustering and lime-ing it to dry it out. It is so exposed and sensitive, he was unable to trim the other feet. Our next step is waiting for the inner wall to toughen up. Finally got this guy about 4 months ago and he is fantastic! As you can see, the newer growth looks healthy! Heels were slung under and he never came out for 6 weeks, so they were always waiting too long. He left way too long in the toes and flared all the way around. Before him I had some idjot that didnt know the front from the back. I should probably mention that this farrier is somewhat new to me.
