My young mare came in from the field on Wednesday last week and i noticed her leg was a little puffy. She is sound and i have been cold hosing it twice a day. She is turned out day and night as it seems to fill when shes stood but once moving it disappears. It doesn't seem to be causing her any discomfort.
I rode her tonight for the first time in a week as it had been down. We only did 10 mins very light work in the arena but she seemed very uncomfortable and generally not wanting to move. Her back was arched, tossing her hear and swishing her tail etc ( could be because shes in season? Her first season with me so i dont know whats normal for her yet or the fact shes had a week off on grass? )
I have attached a photo. It isn't puffy anywhere else on her leg, just this one little bubble?? It has been completely gone the last two days then back up today?!
I just wondered if anybody had any ideas before i get the vet out? I'm really paranoid..!!
When it was down yesterday
The lump at its largest
