Poultice for Abscesses, Bruising, and Sprains in Livestock
Combine Epsom salt and warm water to make a paste. The amount depends on how much you need.
For bruises, strains, sprains, and sore muscles apply the poultice to the affected area. Cover with cotton cloth or batting and wrap with vet wrap. Examine the area and if need be, repeat as needed.
For abscesses, pack the wound and/or the whole hoof and frog to draw out the infection. Be sure to apply cotton cover and vet wrap to protect the area. Leave on for 36-48 hours before checking. Repeat as needed.
