Hi all,
My TB's hind legs have swollen up a lot and feel hot. He is usually out for 5-6 hours a day in this weather and had a day without any turn out which is what I originally thought had caused his legs to fill. However he has been walked in hand, cold hosed and turned out today and his legs have not gone down at all, which seems storage to me.
Any suggestions as to what this might be and what to do would be much appreciated! My current plan is to walk him out under saddle tomorrow morning (he is completely sound) and cold hose to see if this reduces the swelling. If this has no impact I'll be on the phone to the vet!
