My horse came in from the field last night lame on her off fore, not hoping but noticeable at walk on a straight line. I checked all her legs and they had not obvious signs of injury. I felt the legs and the inside of her knee on the lame leg was hot but not swollen. I cold hosed for 15 mins and then put her to bed (she's currently in at night and out in the day).
This morning there was no change so I rang the vet and spoke to the receptionist, really I rang to see if I could get some danilon or similar. The receptionist told me I should really have an appointment as it could be tendon damage due to my description?
I've booked an appointment for tomorrow but now I'm thinking maybe I should monitor and cold hose for a few days just in case it's just had a knock? Or keep appointment for tomorrow fearing an emergency appointment over the weekend?!
What would you do?
