The swelling has gone way down and looks symmetrical to the other side. I tried light exercise and he moved out happily on the lunge line in the outdoor, volunteered to trot and kept himself moving without any urging from me. He jogged on the concrete, grass and outdoor arena without complaint. He is drinking, eating, and pooping at near normal levels. Near normal only because I think his stall was cleaner than normal after being inside all day but I have no way of knowing what time his stall was cleaned. He has pooped once in the 2.5 <br />hours I've been here. He seems totally normal behavior-<br />wise. So a-okay for now.Rebecca Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058661062366527906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1733109971235989183.post-29116259142896744442010-04-15T16:43:26.431-04:002010-04-15T16:43:26.431-04:00Hmmm... aren't horses fun?
How does he seem ...Hmmm... aren't horses fun?<br /><br />How does he seem when he's not being worked or brushed? Does he seem "normal"? You mentioned he drank a lot of water, but is he eating? Did he only threaten to kick when you brushed over that lumpy spot? You said he seemed sluggish heading to the indoor arena, but what about before you rode him?<br /><br />Seems like if it was related to the shots he might feel under the weather, but if it is an injury or a sore foot instead, he might feel fine, just not want to work, which is why I'm curious about his disposition. <br /><br />I hope you get some good news soon! Hopefully he's just having an off day.in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721328264615241612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1733109971235989183.post-14404047226913006932010-04-15T15:49:22.073-04:002010-04-15T15:49:22.073-04:00Worst case is it could be laminitis.

I'd have the vet come out just to be sure.<br />Otherwise, maybe he could just be a little stiff or stepped a little strangely earlier in the day. Hope you figure out what's going on with him soon!Lexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157634535332652866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1733109971235989183.post-2508610415727938052010-04-15T13:59:50.771-04:002010-04-15T13:59:50.771-04:00Where were the shots administered?

Wha...Where were the shots administered?<br />What shots?<br />What brand was given?<br /><br />Turnout after shots is a good idea to quell any stifness at the injection site.Cedar View Paint Horseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407880448814901911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1733109971235989183.post-65327148253616808462010-04-15T11:13:43.747-04:002010-04-15T11:13:43.747-04:00Could be a colic/laminitis thing - if so the vet w...Could be a colic/laminitis thing - if so the vet would be an immediate necessity. If he's only off on one leg, it's probably an injury of some sort; if he's footsore on all feet it's likely to be metabolic. Hope you get it figured out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
