Today I noticed that Skip's left stifle appears swollen. I'm not sure how recent this is, as I haven't been to the barn since Tuesday (but on Tuesday I know it was normal, as I clipped that area and would have noticed if something was unusual). She's not lame from what I can tell, the area wasn't hot to the touch, and she didn't react at all when I put pressure on and around the swelling. It's not hard or firm. The vet is out Monday for spring shots, and I will have her look at it, but wanted to see if anyone here has any thoughts... what this could be, or what might have caused it... or what I can do about it! My first thought was a locking stifle issue since so many minis seem to have that problem, but to the best of my knowledge, Skip has never had a locked stifle. Perhaps it's a kick injury?? Any insight would be much appreciated!!
Here is the right stifle, which looks normal...
