If you think your horse has a hoof abscess, contact your vet right away. Your horse will likely be in a lot of pain, so taking your horse to your vet as soon as possible will allow for early diagnosis and prompt treatment. During the appointment, give your vet a detailed history of the hoof abscess. Describe when you first noticed your horse’s lameness, and what you saw when you examined the affected hoof and lower leg. The more history you can provide to your vet, the easier it will be for them to make a diagnosis and treatment plan. When a horse is lame, an equine vet will perform a detailed lameness exam to determine the cause and severity of the lameness. One aspect of the lameness exam is an overall visual exam of the horse. Your vet will look at your horse to see how it walks and stands, and will take a close look at your horse’s hooves and lower legs to identify abnormalities (e.g., swelling, wounds).  Your vet may do this visual exam as you explain the history of the hoof problem. A lameness exam will help your vet rule out other causes of lameness, such as a fracture. This is important, since a hoof abscess can resemble other injuries or illnesses. A hoof tester is an instrument that tests the sensitivity of a hoof to focal pressure. During the lameness exam, your vet will use the hoof tester to apply pressure to different areas of the affected hoof. The part of the hoof that is most sensitive to pressure will indicate the general area of the abscess. Once your vet has identified a general area of the abscess, they will want to clean the hoof to identify the exact entry point of the bacteria. Your vet will use a paring knife to scrape away the old sole and clean the hoof. As part of the lameness exam, your vet may want to perform diagnostic nerve blocks. For a nerve block, your vet would inject a local anesthetic into the area around a nerve to block the sensation of everything below the block. This would help your vet localize your horse’s pain and confirm that the pain is in fact within the hoof and not located higher up the leg.  Your vet may also want to take x-rays. X-rays can help rule out a leg fracture. Also, if your vet found a sharp object stuck in the sole, they may want to take an x-ray with the object in place to see the path of entry for the bacteria.  If your vet cannot find a wound or draining tract in the sole, they may want to take an x-ray to look for pockets of gas, which would indicate the presence of bacteria.

summary: Schedule an appointment with your vet. Explain the hoof problem to your vet. Allow your vet to visually examine your horse. Have your vet use a hoof tester. Allow your vet to clean the affected hoof. Agree to your vet performing other diagnostic tests.

If the appearance of your property is not good, many potential buyers will not even walk through the door. The front of your property is critical. Front gardens should be well maintained all doors and window frames newly painted if necessary. Hanging baskets and window boxes always make the front of a property more presentable. Even though you may have cleaned up the front of the property don't ignore the back. In a competitive market, the garden can often be the factor that seals the deal. If you are not a gardener, now is the time to start — at least for the time that you are trying to sell your property. If you don't have the time or energy to garden, hire someone. It will be money well spent when the house is sold. matter. Buyers are nosey — after all they have a right to be — because they are about to part with hard earned cash and take on a long term loan to buy a home. The last thing they want to be faced with is dirty kitchen cupboards and carpets that are caked with dirt, dust and grime. Remember they are trying to imagine themselves living in your property. Make sure it is pristine. Take the time to replace a ripped window screen, add a fresh coat of paint or colorful flowers to a family room. Simple touches like these can add thousands of dollars to your bottom line. Buyers will generally be looking for a blank canvas on which they can impose their own personality. If your personality is stamped all over your property, especially in the form of extreme bright colours, the potential buyers will only see this as more work they have to do. Neutralise your rooms with creams and whites in order to provide that blank canvas. Clutter discourages potential buyers by making rooms seem smaller and a lot less appealing. Again, it's hard for buyers to imagine their own possessions in your property when faced with a mountain of mess. Depersonalize your home. Items like family photos or personal collections should be packed away. As much as they add flourishes to a drab room, it's the drab room that actually sells the home fast. . Staging the right way can have a dramatic effect on how quickly you sell your home. Put on neutral music like classical or jazz low in the background. Bake cookies or burn scented-candles so the smell emanates into the most trafficked room. Pay special attention to the kitchen and bathrooms — "added value" here can have a more pronounced effect on the price people are willing to pay.
summary: Make the first appearance of your house impressive.  the inside of your house — small improvements matter. Neutralise. Declutter. Stage the home
