Filled Fetlock???

[fernando]

My boy has strangely come up with a filled fetlock on one of his rears, and a partially filled front. There is no heat and he is sound?

Any ideas or should I just exercise him and turn out as usual to see if it sorts itself? Don't really want to drag the vet out if its nothing. He has been getting a bit more grass than normal but nothing extraordinary.

Thanks in advance

Lou

I would keep an eye on it for a day or two but if it gets worse or there is lameness contact your vet.

Thanks Sarah_Jane, he has just come back into work after a month out due to injury so i am probably just being over cautious (which I'd rather!!!).

Would anybody recommend bandaging?

sounds like hes just bruised it. Archie did that, i just cold hosed it and bandaged it for a couple of nights and made sure i onle rode him lighlty on the school for a couple of days.
