A Conversation About Foot Abscesses

Foot abscesses are relatively simple to treat if managed properly. They are also one of the most common things that we see as equine emergencies and are excruciatingly painful for our horses. It is not uncommon for a client to call because their horse is completely non-weight bearing, only for the vet to arrive and diagnose an abscess. In our latest episode I am joined by Jenny Croft MRCVS to chat about what causes an abscess, the clinical signs that our owners should look out for, the best treatment plan as well as what can go wrong if they are not treated quickly and effectively.
