What's the best way to tell the difference between an abscess and a stone bruise? And what is the best and fastest way to treat a stone bruise?
Thanks in advance

Ice is best for bruising. I buy those shallow black feeders and put the ice in those with water. Sometime you have to sedate them a little. I only fill it up to the hairline. Try to do it for 5 days and do bute bc of all the inflamation. And just for clarification bruising CANNOT be seen by radiograph or MRI. Keep the horse on soft ground.
