My mare has a swollen hind fetlock. She's not lame and there is no heat. You don't notice it when she has full weight on the offending leg ie. when she's resting the opposite one. However when she stands on all 4 then it looks huge at the front of the joint. I've only had her a few months and when she'd been here a few Weeks she kicked out at my gelding and hit a metal fence post with her foot. Not sure if it was this leg, but would this make sense? Could she have jarred it and then it swelled up? It's never bothered her and don't see the point in having the Vet if she's fine on it. Just wondered if I could do anything to take the swelling away from the front.
