You can see his eyes soften as the abscess drains. What a relief it must have been for him! This is what people don't see/ know about rescue. There's more to it than simply re-homing an animal. Thank goodness you got him out of that auction!

We rescued a small, very neglected, emaciated, pony w/ hooves so long they curled all the way backwards. He came w/ strangles from an auction, his lesion was in a similar spot and under the jaw, too. He was quarantined well over a month. The vet didn’t expect him to survive, but he was a fighter and did! He is thriving and living his best life now, babysitting all the weaning foals every spring, on a multi million dollar horse farm in Brooksville, FL. Rest of the year, he is free to graze the entire place, not behind any fences. He greets every person who arrives patrols and drives off coyotes.

[@Bambuzzsprosse]

No it didn't. He was sedated, they said so in the video. It was uncomfortable but not hurting.

[@mellow_mallow]

​@@Bambuzzsprosse sedated doesn't necessarily mean numbed or on painkillers, it just means they gave him something to calm him down. If he was anaesthetized there would be no pain, though I can't remember if they did that here or not

[@samanthaw3845]

@@georgepierson4920my understanding is that, once the pus is drained, the abscess is typically treated with antibiotics or topical antibacterials, then monitored as it heals. Like a blister, the inflamed skin will flatten back out and heal itself as long as further infection is prevented.

Several years ago, while teching at a large animal clinic, we had an outfitter horse come in with a SOCCER ball sized abscess on top of his hip from an injection site.The outfitter had vaccinated the herd then turned them out to pasture for a couple months and found this when they were rounded up. It was absolutely glorious when the vet lanced it! Goop literally shot out and hit the wall, drained without milking for a solid five minutes. It was the most satisfying moment of my entire six years there. ❤ Also the most nauseating - i still get sick when I think of the smell! 🤢

[@ladychiere]

40 years ago I worked at a big Thoroughbred farm in Ocala, in the farm’s hospital barn. You have not lived until half of your 80 stall barn has a two or three yr old with strangles in it. It’s a process, man! After the initial ‘surprise’ of a few ‘snotty’ horses, the realization hit that we might have a problem. For the next two months every morning feed run was accompanied by a temp check of all 500 horses. (Was handled by each sections’ hoard of grooms; thank goodness that wasn’t my job.) Anyone with an elevated temp got moved to one end of the barn. (Obvs not the gross end.) If their temp got higher they got moved to the gross end. If not after a few days of observation they were turned back out. This was in those pre vax days. There was a shallow bath of bleach outside every stall that we had to step in when entering and leaving the stall. And soooo many gloves. We learned how to make nebulizers out of two liter soda bottles and ace wraps. Hung them off the halters. When a frisky 2 yr old stands utterly still so you can strap weird stuff to their face, you know you have a sick pony. The stuff is gross. Mix wood glue and calk together, then wildly sling it on everything. Including yourself. Drag heaping spoons full down your patients’ faces, muzzles, necks, and legs. Because like all kids they rub their gross noses on their ‘arms’. Have at least 25 miserable horses in various stages of draining, usually from 4 different lymph spots on the same head. We never forced a rupture. Never needed to. But the sound of a horse trying to breathe with lymph nodes that ruptured inwards was truly awful. If you ever wondered why it’s called strangles and not just strep-throat-for-horses, that sound. Nobody died, they just sounded like they might. And we got lucky, no one had it turn into bastard strangles. When they were recovered enough to be turned back out (in a hospital pasture with other recovering kids because we needed the stall,) we had to strip the stall down to the clay, then spray it heavily with bleach, scrub the cinderblock walls with bleach (including scraping all the ‘glue’ off the walls,) and even run a mop dipped in bleach over the stall’s ceiling fan, making sure to soak the blades. Not quite sure why, we were just going to put another strangles victim in there… All in all, I bet half the farm’s horses cycled through there.

He definitely wouldn’t stand for a bag around holding it. Better to drain it all in one place, let it pool, then disinfect the area. It’s not like you can give him “cage rest” like you can with smaller animals, and it’s not easy to have them stand still. You can’t lie them down (death for horses). She knows what she’s doing.
