[QUOTE="Randi, post: 1473336, member: 24883"] Ok, ranch cow with a hoof abscess, what treatment protocols are there. She's not wild, but not a pet either. Pretty sure she has an abscess, there's no swelling and no crack in her hoof. And we've dealt with enough to know what they are. BUT, we haven't been very successful in treating them. In the past, we have tried trimming, using a hoof knife to dig it out, wrapping with a poultice of Epsom salt. I'm wondering if we should try a hoof boot, like for horses and soak her foot till it's softened up and then try some farrier work? [/QUOTE]
