I had to bribe barn friends into doing them for me so that they would stay on for turnout. 🙄 The two products I liked best were Animalintex poultice pads and Magic Cushion - I think I eventually was alternating between the two each time I changed the wrap. Of course, Leo ended up not having an abscess...but those were recommended by the two duct tape boots wizards who have dealt with many abscesses than me, and were the easiest (IMO) to work with. <br />Hope it pops soon!!!!! kaityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389820971120741273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-27298626006491034472017-09-04T19:57:45.778-07:002017-09-04T19:57:45.778-07:00Oh man.

I've heard of that sugardine recipe too, and apparently the soaking thing was about how the horses hoof compresses and expands based on dry/wet conditions and that this is how micro cracks are formed - the cracks being the entry point for bacteria that cause abscesses in the first place.
