Ongoing abscess

Below is an abscess that I have visited many times over the last few weeks. Despite good poulticing and coming 100% sound on many occasions to the extent we put the shoe back on and he came back into work, this morning he was hopping lame again!

This abscess although initially came out of the sole of the foot, we then found today it had tracked up the hoof wall. I had to pare a channel into his wall to release even more puss.
