Hi,
My horse has been kicked on the forearm. It left an open wound which was about skin deep with a slight limp. I went out on vacation with my horse not noticing the slight limp... I rode her the first day she was limping a bit but not too badly. At night she developped a swelling. I hosed it down and gave her bute and applied argile. 2 days after the swelling was really bad. I called my vet he prescribed antibiotics he thought the wound had infected.
3 days later the swelling went down. After 10 days of antibiotics the swelling was all gone except for a hard bump on the knee and a hard part around the scar. I called the vet in. From x-rays the vet said it was a bone chip on the forearm with a suros (french word don't know what it is in english... I think it is a calcium deposit...) He says the bump on the knee is a bruise with blood in it...
He says time and rest... But I'm scared... What are the prognosis on such bruises?

Dr.O,
Could you respond to this last posting? My mare had a similar situation and I'd like to know what you think.
Thank you,
Michele

Michele, if you will post your request in a new discussion with the details of your circumstances I will be glad to respond, I must have missed Claudetts post earlier and will delete this empty discussion in a few days.
