HI Dr. O,

I've read what I could find on the site on windpuff, which I think my wife's 20 y/o TB has -- a mild puffiness on either side, toward the back, at the top of his right hind fetlock. But I remain unclear as to the probably cause and recommended treatment. Should excerise be avoided? Could I trouble you for a brief summary? Thanks!
