Lump appeared but no heat or lameness

[Finns Mum]

I am have been very lucky with my boy in the leg department, everything else has gone wrong in the three years i've had him but nothing leg related

This morning I noticed a small hard lump on the inside of his nearfore just under the knee towards the front, where there is a slightly boney bit normally I think. There is no heat, he is sound and I can press really hard on it and he is not concerned.

But being a worrier I am concerned

Mainly due to where it is being so close to the knee, my thougths were it could be a splint but in the early days I believe they are normally hot and this isn't.

I am not sure whether I should give him some time off, call the vet or just continue as normal and keep an eye on it.

Any thoughts / advice much appreciated

i would think it's a splint, i would call the vet, to put your mind at rest!
