Re: [RC] abcesses that take a long time to heal. - Chris PausAnd I would add that I've seen a good number of abcesses start because of stone bruises on unshod horses.... chris --- heidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: I would amend your second paradigm (above) to read that abcesses can be caused by BAD shoeing. The way you say it, it implies that ANY shoeing causes such trauma. That simply isn't true. And by your own admission in the paragraph after that, Sonny had BAD shoeing. If shoes are not properly applied to a hoof that has first been properly trimmed, then they can cause pain and trauma--just like when you try to wear shoes that do not fit properly, vs the comfort of shoes that DO fit properly.
