Dr. O, I have a maiden mare that is DRIVING ME CRAZY, she is so different then all my other mares/ maidens included.. She now has this swelling the picture is not great, about the size of a young child's fist, 1 year old.. right in front of that vein you see.. only on one side.. Its not soft, but would not say HARD either.. Is this just normal edema building up.. ?
thanks..

On the first day God created horses, on the second day he painted them with spots..

This certainly falls into the range of normal Ann and will even out with time, but to understand more about how to assess any swelling see, Equine Diseases » Skin Diseases » Swellings / Localized Infection / Abscesses » Diagnosing and Assessing Swellings in Horses.
