Danny Love's Farrier's Corner Case Study: Abscesses
| |
|
Abscesses can have many causes but many are easy to prevent. Poor hoof
maintenance including formation of cracks which are invaded by bacteria are
often causes. In these cases, regular cleaning and hoof maintenance,
coupled with clean pasture, will help prevent these painful
occurrences.
Some horses, however, seem prone to abscesses, and even the best of care doesn't seem to prevent them all. In some cases corrective shoeing with pads to reduce impact and bruising can help. Return to Page 1Return to Ortho - Rehab pageReturn to Farrier's CornerGo To
