This is Angus Donk. I have to specifiy Angus Donk because quite by concidence my eldest son is also called Angus. Angus Donk has been lame since we got back from holiday. It has been difficult to work out what the problem is. Because of years of abuse the two old donkeys' feet aren't in very good shape and they are prone to hoof abscesses. This seemed different tho. Anyway, the vet came to have a look this evening and as she was looking at his leg we noticed that the abscess had burst through the coronary band which is the area where the hoof meets the leg. So it's back to 'tubbing' his foot in hot water and Epsom Salts and applying hot poultices every day. Ho hum................
