Most abscesses occur as the result of a local infection that the body is able to contain, but which it cannot eliminate. Causes of abscesses in horses include bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, viruses, parasites, and swallowed objects.
Abscess - Causes. Most abscesses are caused by an infection with staphylococcal bacteria. When bacteria enter the body, the immune system sends white blood cells to fight the infection. This causes swelling (inflammation) at the site of infection and the death of nearby tissue. A cavity is created, which fills with pus to form an abscess.
