[QUOTE="Gale Seddon, post: 226986, member: 53"] Lammie, I'd bet it's an abscess too. We've only had one here (vet rasped away at his hoof until the hole appeared and drained) and we soaked the hoof in povidone/water solution every night, wrapped the hoof, and stall rest for a couple of weeks. Poor Rambo didn't like it a bit, but he survived, and didn't take one lame step following the procedure. I know it would be very hard with one (even a miniature) that isn't keen on people messing with her hoof. Is it a front or rear hoof? You may have to use a twitch to give you time to uncover the abscess. I know it doesn't help things that the jennet is not terribly user-friendly, but now's the time to change that, before she foals cause you know how protective they can be at that time (and her foal will mimic her behavior). Do you have a "buddy" she could be penned or stalled with...that makes it easier...and the friendly buddy will, as I'm sure you know, teach the unfriendly one, that people aren't all bad. [/QUOTE]
