Wouldn’t it be more effective to feel for a pulse without rubber gloves? Anyway, very helpful video, thank you. P.s. I was given by a “technician” at a pharmacy a combination of Eritromicin, Peniciline and Dxametasone. Can that help? Thank you very much.
I have a horse who had an old abscess that had ruptured near the superior portion of the hoof and has now grown to ALMOST where we could trim off the chip that is now being seen. However, she is limping all of a sudden on it pretty bad today. Should I worry here or do you think she spranged something?
Curious I had a horse that was fine on Tuesday and next day out of his stall he came up extremely sore. It’s definitely his left front as he wouldn’t even lift the right front to put all the weight. Question I want to ask… Is it hard to detect abscess if they have shoes on? Like your horse in this video that abscess would not have been detected with the shoes right?
you don't know what you're talking about, the hoof is made of keratin, no nerves. The quick has the nerves. Nails and shoes are necessary for pressure mitigation of abscesses. Enjoy your pasture pets
@@StoneTheCr0w no need to degrade someones horses because they disagree with you. while shoes can provide relief because they take away the pressure from the sole and frog and place it on the wall, they do significantly restrict the mechanics of a hoof, making shock absorption impossible.
