Fat Lip = Abscess!

Arrived at the barn today to a bloody pus mess coming out of the fat lip.

Thursday:

Lip had a hard ball and hanging low!

Today it has a good size hole and yellow pus was coming out of the hole.  It looked awful until I cleaned it up.  Here is a picture after I cleaned it up.  He wasn't really staying still for the picture as he was pretty upset that I was just squeezing and whipping his ouchy area.

Today:


I am hoping this is the reason that he was a little off his food for the past couple of weeks.  Horses!!!

I rode him despite his pus lip and he was fine.  It is like it isn't even there, so still planning on jump school tomorrow!
