walks on her fetlock joint!! with foot flipped back. Twice now this has happened, thurs and today (sat)-that i have noticed.
I pulled her leg forward this morning, without too much difficulty and the hip itself POPPED, & I mean popped hard, basically if my jaw was beside her stifle i'd have been hit hard. She didn't jump forward or anything, maybe a little hickup so to say. She will move around on it and will bring it forward but will not bend her hock, she more throws her leg forward and will walk on either the hoof or the fetlock joint itself. AFter i pulled the leg forward she moved around on it a bit and stretched it back behind her again, i pulled it forward and same thing, HUGE pop.
Not sure WHEN she wakes up in the morning-automatic lights come on at 6am(mare is beside her)i am in barn about 615-630.
If i take her out of her stall, she walks FINE and will jog down the hallway on her own, no hitches, she runs and plays in the field no problem, is not sore to touch. She is not off of her feed or water, has regular movements, is not out of sorts AT ALL.
Please tell me someone else has dealt with this before. She has grown quite a bit lately and this -that i have seen- both times was her rear left leg
Is it possible for their legs to fall asleep?? BUT what about the joint thing???
Look forward to all replies, ideas, anything and any guesses as to what this may be
TIA Dana
