Well, I got back from my weekend away last night only to find that my horse has hurt three of his legs

The ones I am concerened about are a back leg, which is swollen around the fetlock and down to the heel at the back of the pastern and the front one, which is swollen all down the inside.

Both are sore if palpated and he is lame in trot on the hind leg. No cuts. I cold hosed and bandaged late last night but it made no difference this morning.

I am worried this could be tendon injury - esp the back one (Im thinking ddft)

What do people on here think? (The vet is coming in a couple of hours BTW)
