Abscesses > Deep abscess on a 9 month old colt (4)
An abscess site that we were lucky enough to get radiographs of.
-
Dorsal Palmer View
On the medial side (right of picture) you can see a white artifact below the solar surface of the pedal bone. This is dirt pact into a deep abscess site.
-
Lateral Radiograph
From this lateral shot you can see the shadowing of the abscess too.
-
Medial hole
It really is a deep hole in relation to the size of the foot, but Ivor was lucky that it burst out of the sole and not the coronary band or bulb of heel. This will lead to barely any damage to his foot long term.

Oblique View
I tried for a different angle to try and show the depth and this was my best attempt on a wiggly youngster!
