So I'm back to the vet corner because of course.
The other day my 4yo went crazy for 10 minutes in the paddock, i checked her legs, seemed fine cold hosed and back in stall where she lives (no annoying comments on this thank you)
Yesterday when I went in the stall i find her with both hind legs swollen, but one was worst than the other, i cold hosed, walked a bit and called the vet, meanwhile one leg went down and the other stayed swollen hard and painful and hot
She told me maybe she bumped her legs, try to wait some days and if the swelling is still there she would've come out and see
Since I'm an hypochondriac and I was scared it was a tendon I told the vet to come out immediately because if it was a tendon i wanted to know asap.
Vet came, give ultrasound on both hind legs and the swollen side is just oedema, no tendon involved and on the other leg there was a bit of synovial fluid, so good right?
Well of course not , why would it be
While looking at those structure she also checked the branches and both the inside branches of the hind legs were thickened with small dishomogenous zones, both legs looked the same in the ultrasound
So my vet told me she didn't like how they looked, especially because we do dressage and told me to shoe her with shoes that are thicker on the inside and finer on the outside to shift the weight and then we have to check in 3/4 months to see how it goes
Do you ever have an experience like this?
Thank you
