The vet is coming out again tomorrow, but do you think they'll cut an Incision in it to drain it or just leave it to reduce?
I can't believe how fast it swoll up I've never seen anything like it before :confused:
But any advice greatly appreciated xxxx
 
No idea about the reaction/swelling but the bite type hole looks a bit like what I've been left with in the past after removing a tick. Sorry not much use, hope swelling goes down soon and horse is ok.
