The season of Abscesses!
Here is a radiograph taken of an 9 month old colt - Ivor owned by Wendy Carberry. He was about 5/10 lame on his right front. He had quite a deep abscess on his medial heel. The dirt that became wedged in the abscess site is what you can see on the radiograph, this is not actually puss, that had already drained out.
