Chance pulled up lame 2 days ago.. the first today she seemed to just be stiff and a bit off. Yesterday [the third day] I had my BO look at her and she was quite a bit swollen and was given off heat on the inside of her front left {refer to picture} We decided to give her some bute through her feed and I just groomed her then turned her out....
Im guessing my question is would stretches, or massages help??? Stall rest of no.. Im keeping her stall on hold till the end of the month so just curious if i should take advantage of that. I was thinking liniment but I dont want to do anything that could make it worse...
Lol ill be honest I've never delt with a lame horse really... at least not like this. Im use to stiff or sore horses but not having a swollen area..
BTW this is just showing where the swelling is taking place..
Could it be caused by a kick... or something pulled???? Its just such a weird place...
