More Info
Swellings in horse's legs are a very common event. As such many of the most common ones have developed a specific term used by horsemen. Stocking up is one of those terms defined as a normal temperature, non-painful, usually bilateral, swelling of the lower legs. This swelling will pit on firm finger pressure and when released will slowly refill in 5 to 30 seconds. Most often in the hind legs, occasionally the fronts or even a single leg is effected. The definition differentiates it from other cool swellings like windpuffs, firm swellings like splints or ring bone, or any swelling associated with hot painful legs. This article will describe the causes, treatment and prognosis of stocking up.
