Jester can barely walk...he seems to have done something to his near fore and he can barely hobble. There is heat/swelling etc and nothing in his hoof. Vet is on his way but I'm really scared it's something bad. There is a cracking/clicking noise when he tries to walk. Vet is thinking he may have been kicked..???
Please keep my boy in your thoughts :( :( :(
 
Oh no, how scary for you.
Try to stay calm, you always think the worse when our babies are hurt.
Keep us updated, and hoping its nothing to serious
 
Another didn't want to read and run so best of luck.
Mine came In pretty similar some time ago, it was a kick and took a while but he was right as rain x
 
I've has one non weight bearing on a hind and I thought the worst as it appeared so suddenly. Turned out he had a nasty abscess in his foot that must have been brewing for a while without him showing any lameness!

This ^

Fingers X'd
 
Try not to worry, in all likelihood it's an abscess and the clicking is just from swelling around the joints etc.
 
Sending good thoughts to you and Jester, as others have said, hope its an abcess that clears quickly for you!
 
Fingers crossed for you OP. I would second the possibility of abscess, I honestly thought my pony had broken his front leg when he had one.
 
Oh SLH, you must be turning yourself inside out. Fingers and toes firmly crossed that it's nothing sinister and you get some relief from the worry . . . thinking of you xxx
