I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on this. My six month old filly has two swollen legs, one back and one front on the same side, i think with fluid build up. There is no heat in them and she is not lame. Had the vet look at her on monday and he said it was normal and they will go down in no time at all. He gave me some danilon to give her for five days to help the swelling go down but her legs are still both very big a week later and was wondering what else could cause them to swell. Any advice on what may cause this and what could be done to help them go down would be much appreciated. Thank you
 
Have you changed her feed? Some horses get oedema if they have too much protein in their feed. Does the swelling go down as she moves around? Strange that it's in 1 fore and 1 hind though...
