Re: [RC] [RC] Fetlock Injury? - Laurie Durgin

"possibly windpuffs".We had a synovial injury that was similiar sounding, no one knew till we had the vet xray it. If we'd called him sooner(had it for months gradurlly getting bigger) it won't be so ugly now and cheaper to treat. No pain, heat , lamness, just sort of mushy, started quarter size, till it started to really get bigger then we called the vet. Trainers disn't know what it was or any other horse person .

Subject: [RC]   Fetlock Injury?
Date: Fri, 16 May 2003 08:52:30 -0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)

I have a horse that I recently acquired and he has a spot on the front of
his fetlock that looks like a lump about 1-2 inches in diameter and sticks
out about 1/4 inch.  When I felt it, it's not hard and may be some kind of
swelling?  I'm not sure, it's just kind of odd.  I have tried to find out
about any tendons or ligaments on the front of the leg that may be injured,
but haven't had any luck as yet.  Any ideas from anyone what this might be?
He's not lame, no noticeable heat, has complete movement of the joint.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Shelley
