Some advice needed for my friends horse.....
He was kicked in the field 2 weeks ago, when she got him in he had a hoof mark on his thigh and just below a little nick on the outside of the hock. The kick was quite swollen and the outside of the hock but it was a hard swelling instantly almost like a splint. He has never been lame on this and there has never been any heat. It has been cold hosed twice a day and cooling gel applied.
The thigh swelling had now gone but the hard lump on the hock is still there, it is on the outside and you cant see unless you really study from behind it is the right shape just comes out slightly more then teh other one but again has never had any heat and has continued to work fine and be turned out with no lameness at all.
Do you think this could be splint like?? thx!!
