Swollen Hock

[Gucc]

Hi,
Any advice would be grateful. Yesterday i noticed that my gelding has a swollen hock, although he doesnt appear to be lame and it doesnt seem to hurt him when i touch it.
The swelling is on the outside of his near hind and also on the inside front of his rear hind. When i applied pressure to it, the swelling/fluid goes to the other side of his hock. (To the opposite swelling)

Hi There,

Sounds like a Bog Spavin, just been reading up in hock injuries as my mare has a swelling too!! However hers doesn't appear to move, so not sure what hers is. It should go down on its own, hope hes OK.
