I have an Ottb with lymphangitis. The swelling is minor in the back left leg. I have a horse show this weekend 3 hours away and I don't know wether or not I should wrap his hind legs. Any advice would be appreciated !

My mare had lymphangitis last autumn. It can be quite serious, often the horses immune system is weakened. the last thing your horse needs right now is a show.
 
He has had it for a 6 months now. He had the first two months with just lunging then the vet recommended for him to be back into normal EXcersize. He comes inside every night and is excersized once a day. When the vet first came out he was put on buet for a week then the vet said to take him off of it. He doesn't have a severe case, and the leg goes down with excersize. I just don't know If it is better to wrap or not :S
