She had an abcess from a nail about 6 years ago, and very little problem since. she abcessed in her right front at Thanksgiving, recovered nicely, was well for about 5 weeks, abcessed on the left front 1 week ago, the abcess blew out on her heel two days ago, and now has abcessed on left back today. The vet and farrier have both been out and looked at her multiple times in the past 2 weeks. They are both very reputable, and I trust them. lThey don't seem overly concerned. The latest was found with tester, but it is deep and cannot be isolated. We are packing to draw it out. If she is pain, we give her a shot of Banamine. Bute does not seem to help. She has her shoes off, I've been keeping her out of the muddy pasture, stall clean and dry, take her out and walk her on soft dirt when possible, if not, carefully in the barn walkway, so she at least gets to move around. With all of the rain, everything else is deep in mud.
Opinions? Help?
