how long do you let one be lame before you believe it's not an abscess?

i'm puzzled with my situation and just curious if sometimes an abscess has taken longer than a day or two for some of you

sorry to steal the post

I think its time to take him to the vet, I had one also that I thought had a abscess, went on for over a week no inprovment and was really lame, had xray done, he had a slight rotation in his right foot come to find out he was IR{Insulin resistance} could not toterate sugar and starch and it almost caused him to founder, If I wanted any longer he would have been a mess. So now hes got to stay on a special diet..

  screw soaking LOL. I just wrap with a wet animalintex poultice pad. Wrap it up around the foot and up to the pastern so you get the cornet band. Then Vet wrap and then duck tape boot. Leave on for 24 hours then repeat until it pops. Soooo much easier then soaking and you can address pulling out the abscess all day instead of just a couple times a day when you actually sit there and soak.

This right here ^^^
