As most of you probably know by now, my horse has been on box rest for two months. No end in sight as yet... She is walking down to her pen in the field and having about 1-2 hours a day out, but last night I noticed her hind legs had filled a bit (mostly around the fetlock area, not much up round the tendons). I asked my YO for her opinion (she is very experienced) and she said it isn't anything significant so not to worry about it, but now I am paranoid about her legs I am wondering whether I should be bandaging her? I can't walk her about to get the swelling down as she's meant to be doing minimal moving about apart from turnout, and when she's in her pen she doesn't move much as there's not much room!
Do you think I should be bandaging her hind legs overnight to help? And do you personally always bandage filled legs, or just leave them to it?
By the way I am a perfectly competent bandager so no worries there
