Horse not human.
My horse was kicked today just behind the girth under his flank at short range and the noise was horrendous.
My horse seemed in shock but aside from that acted like nothing had happened however the swelling was instant.
I rang my vet who said to cold hose and if he isn't distressed then to turnout and have him xrayed on Monday.
He seems remarkably calm considering he is a firey horse- he let me cold hose it and then went into the field to roll and went to graze.
- if he had fractured his rib surely he would be showing some type of pain or something? Does anyone have any experience in stuff like this?
Thanks
