So my farrier couldn't come out on Sunday to see if Cowboy had a abscess but I soaked it twice a day and I think he is on the mend and doing better. The last two days I haven't soaked his foot and he hasn't had any bute in 24 hours and today he is not limping but still moving slow. I let him out of his round pin and he seems to be doing great. I guess my vet was on the right track when she said get him back on the Hydrochloric Acid shots and I guess maybe her adjustment worked well. I will have my farrier out next week to trim him and I am going to put shoes on all 4 feet as he back feet hooves have gotten a little deformed due to him switching weight when he was sore ( Usually I only shoe his front 2 feet as I don't ride him on the road much ) So thanks for any prayers, I will keep you posted but I think he is going to be ok.. Once he gets his shoes back on I will start riding him regulary as my vet says that is crucial to keep his joints sharp. Anyway off to finish my glass of wine and watch W! Will check back soon

Oh no. I'm so sorry about Cowboy. I really do hope he's on the mend now and will better than new soon.
What a good job you're doing soaking his foot and making sure he has good vet care, too.
Go enjoy that wine. You deserve it.
Oh. And thanks for dropping by with such kind words. You really cheered me up a little. I'm still feeling foggy about the whole awful experience...just hoping that maybe it's all a dream. So sad....
Thanks again.
Yay, I am so glad he is starting to feel better! What a sweetheart. :) I'll bet he is such a good boy during his treatments.
So how was W? Was it good?
