[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 310387, member: 1963"] An awful lot of horse people went to using the disposeable diapers when they came out. Those and duct tape just work better than a soaking boot. I would ask your vet about pulling the shoe/shoes (it is often not a good idea to pull the shoe only on the affected foot. Some vets adivsed leaving the shoes on depending on where/how deep the abcess is. A lot of abcesses will tunnel to the back quarter of the coronary band or to the heel bulb itself. Ask your vet about putting on a bar shoe to take the strain of weight bearing off the affected part of the hoof. [/QUOTE]
