The farrier opened it and I soaked it but it still ended up working out at the coronet band. After that, she was fine. Aggravating though

How long did it take from the the time she came up lame?

Did you pull the shoe yourself or have a farrier come? I don't know if they all are, but my farrier brags that he is particularly good at finding and relieving abscesses that even vets didn't find.

Abscessed feet are really debilitating, incredibly painful, and yet the moment the pressure gets relieved, it's over.

It took a coupla weeks I think. It started getting real puffy up there first and you could tell that's what it was gonna do. I just kept some of that black drawing salve on it. She had a hole in her hoof that had to grow out, but other than that, no problems.
