Hey people, just after a bit of advice and wondered if anyones horses have been through something similar.. (also posted in Vet but tend to lurk in here Went to turn my horse out yesterday and all his legs were like balloons! He was walking ok, and went into the field and after a few hours still no change.. Vet came out and said its either a reaction to something (although he is on restricted grassing with no grass) or a virus.. He has started a course of anti biotics and bute.. Vet said to ring if they were still the same this morning.. they were. Vet said they can give him steroid injections to reduce the swelling but this carries a risk of laminitis. I am a bit worried about this, but also just worried to leave them as they are! Plan at the moment is to leave him until 3pm and see how his legs are...
Any feedback/advice appreciated!!!
