post yesterday re leg swelling after mud fever and field kick

[cellie]

Thanks to everyone who replied.
have spoken to my vet and he thinks that with kick and cellulitis going on course of danilon and regular walking out to decrease inflammation is way forward.He is out on 16th for my other horse so will check her over. Cellulitis and field kick can both take 2 months for leg to settle.I feel alot happier knowing I have been treating her right .It wont matter if her back shoes stay on until she is more comfortable.Magnetic hock support is ok as well helps circulation which was what I was banking on.Big sigh of relief

At least you have a time frame in mind and the correct treatment. I hope the recovery goes well.

I'm so pleased that it wasn't anything more serious! After reading your post I was reminded of friends TB who had a cut on her coronet band and the resulting infection made her leg swell/fill when in whilst it healed. The good news is that now she is mended again the swelling has completely gone with work - doesn't come back even after being stabled at night. Hope its the same for you.
