After Racing: Retraining Thoroughbreds

Ryan Clarke, my farrier, was out today and was able to find the abscess in Jimmy's heel. Fortunately, Ryan didn't have to do too much digging to find it and pop it open. He did say that it was pretty far up, but didn't have to create too much of a hole. Its packed with an antibiotic padding and wrapped up. Tomorrow I'll change it out and hopefully find that it has continued to drain. Between the drainage and the antibiotic, I expect Jimmy to be feeling much better in the next few days. :)
