Right after it happened I was soaking his foot in a diluted betadine mixture, to keep the hole clean and infection free. I did that once a day for 3 days. After soaking I put a pad on and taped it up good to make sure it stayed clean. I'm going to start the epsom salt soaks today, there's gotta be more abscess in there as lame as he is.

What's your new job???

Have you tried packing the hole with that black ichthammol ointment? I hear that's supposed to be a drawing agent. The last time Truly got an abcess, we tried to drain it like that but it ended up coming out the coronet anyways. I kept the black stuff on both places for quite a while.
