Question
I have a 9 yr dutch gelding.  He has been getting abcesses not just in his feet but on his body.  In April 2009 - 3 abcesses in 2 feet.  May 2009 - Abcess on his withers. Yesterday abcess on front foot.

Answer
Kathryn:

Im not sure from this what the question is but I would say the occurrences between the withers and the feet are unlikely to be related. Coincidental but unrelated. If you have a question, I will be gald to try to address it, but your initial email was unclear to me what the question was. I will look for another email.
