 I''ll have to check into this one. Rascal had Marquis 1.4 times the dose 
for 28 days. He did have a toe abcess at the end of treatment. I had pulled 
his  shoes.  I put them back on when it healed. He hasn't had any notable 
change in his feet since then. It has been 11 months.   I am going to check 
with the  epm group, one of which is a farrier. There does seem to be a lot 
of abcesses among the group when under treatment or right after, more than I 
have ever heard of in a normal 'barn situation'.  I considered that 
'unusual'.  He has always had really tough feet, never even a hairline crack 
or chip.  So maybe the answer is elsewhere or an individual horse 
sensitivity.
