Sole abscess is also called "Pododermatitis circumscripta"

It is a circumscribed area of hemorrhage and necrosis:

• typically in the posterior 1/3 of lateral claw of the hind feet
• bone surface of the lateral distal phalanx is rougher than medial
• frequently involves both hind feet, seen as shifting weight side to side
• often seen along with heel erosion and interdigital dermatitis
• soft discolored area -> perforation
• granulation tissue may protrude
• 2* bacterial invasion of the corium

If really severe or deep -> get avulsion of the deep flexor tendon

• "cocked up" toe

Treatment:

• trim and medicate
• wooden block/Technovit
