My horse may have injured his check ligament..Came in from the field with a swollen fetlock and lame. I kept him in as vet due next day for routine visit, tendon area from knee to fetlock was swollen by the next morning. On advice I kept him in for a week, he improved greatly. The vet was going to return and scan, but I decided that as the swelling was gone and the horse was sound that a scan was not necessary at this stage. I have turned him out and will give him some time to see how things progress.
Has any one else got experience of a suspected check ligament injury? What did you do.
Obviously if I am worried I will call the vet and look at an alternative way to help my horse recover.
