Double check (and then triple check) the foot with hoof testers to try and localise the most painful point. Percuss &nbsp;the walls of the hoof in case the abscess is beneath the wall rather than the sole. Palpate the coronary band and heels to see if an abscess is about to burst out at the top. Pare the sole and frog to look for obvious penetrations. If it is an abscess it will burst out somewhere eventually.&nbsp; Other less likely diagnoses - severe bruising, sepis of synovial structures of the foot - (coffin joint/navicular bursa/tendon sheath) or fracture of pedal bone.&nbsp; Next step if worried - xray foot.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/69411?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 09 Aug 2012 22:46:11 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:2504e8d7-90c7-4fdd-a8e7-53b50e6884fcmatisse white<p>as far as im concerned she is vaccinated.. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/69410?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 09 Aug 2012 22:45:02 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:f70afa5b-e2a9-417d-9311-556bd20b01f7matisse white<p>she has been poulticed since wed and she was not shod in her hind legs dp no in other feet.. she was able to walk even if v lame but standing she preferred to stay with the toe on the floor..</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/69407?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 09 Aug 2012 22:38:54 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:0d4b6353-86b2-4aa5-a56e-1b5ad17de6ceMark Rowland<p>If its a traumatic prick, did you check tetanus status?</p> <p>Goodluck</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/69406?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 09 Aug 2012 22:36:13 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:6bb43d8d-0135-43dc-8c22-b9421cebbc32Michael Woodhouse<p>[quote user=&quot;matisse white&quot;]did I miss something[/quote]</p> <p>I guess so, if you didn&#39;t find a cause <img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/emoticons/v2/Winking_smiley.gif" alt="Wink" /> (not saying I would have done any better!)</p> <p>How long have you poulticed for?
