Just passing time waiting for the vet, my poor girl has a v swollen hind leg tendon but no heat on leg or hoof. Put her in and she manages to cut same leg rubbing it on wall of stable, hardly any blood but still, feel awful she's in such pain. Vets due shortly so will know more. She's walking on it but won't trot.
 
Good news! Shaved so could see cut better, was only a tiny nick (old wound vet said) that had reopened up due to swelling, just on antibiotics and out tomorrow for a few hours to begin with! Hopefully nothing more sinister than that! Doesn't seem to be any ligament damage or abscess.
