    Swollen fetlock

    My mare has a swollen hind fetlock. She's not lame and there is no heat. You don't notice it when she has full weight on the offending leg ie. when she's resting the opposite one. However when she stands on all 4 then it looks huge at the front of the joint. I've only had her a few months and...

    Healing leg wound: Will judge mark her down??

    My yearling filly still has a healing wound on her pastern, just below her fetlock. It's healed loads, but is still not right, as it will take time. It's about the size of a 10p.

    Sedation: Feed before??

    I'm hoping to have the Vet out to cut the skin flap away from my yearlings leg wound at the end of this Week. She'll have to sedate, so my question is: My yearling comes in at night and has a feed and haylage overnight. If the Vet comes at around the time she comes in,(5pm), should I feed her...

    Thanks for all the replies. I would have to thin it a bit with heat so I can apply it with a syringe. There's no way in world she'll let me ladel it on the wound!

    Manuka Honey:Advice please.

    My filly cut her leg just below the fetlock 2 Weeks ago. The actual wound which was quite deep is healing really well. It has a thick skin flap which the Vet is going to remove once it's receeded further in about a Weeks time. I've been squirting a herbal wound healer in it twice a day which...
