The vet came out yesterday as Yog was hopping around on 3 legs, turns out he's got a strained fetlock. Not sure how he did it seeing as he was walking at the time! He's got to stay on bute for 10-14 days and go on 'box' rest (ie little electric fenced off bit in the field). The vet said though that he'd normally strap his leg up, but wouldn't as the bandage would get wet. Is that a problem though? Not sure (and didn't think to ask at the time) if there would be a problem with the bandage becoming too tight if it got wet, or if he was just bothered that the bandage would end up full of mud! I tried putting boots on him last night to give him some support, but they're neoprene so I can't leave them on all the time and they make his legs very sweaty. Bandages would give better support as well, so is it ok to bandage it?
