We are after getting a new rescue mare in, an exracer who has two puffy swellings above a hind fetlock. Vet scanned and said tendon is fine, but ligament has mild damage. She doesn't know what caused the two swellings but she's guessing it's linked to whatever injury occured. She got steroid injections in and I've to restrict turnout in a small pen for two weeks and then see how she is.
I was just wondering if there's anything I can do to aid the recovery? Is there any point trying magnetic boots or wraps or any topical creams etc. Just want to see if anything helps for the few weeks she is up at the house with me.
She will most likely be a companion, and she's only 4, so happy to throw her out to grass and look at her next year. But just wondering did anyone have anything that aided ligament injury or swellings?
