Hello all,
Well today when I was out with Blue I noticed he had an odd lump/swelled area on his body...it is right behind his right leg when you are facing him. It is rather large, but does not seem to be causing him pain. He does not limp, etc.
Normally I seperate the three geldings out because I feel bad for Blue because he is the lowest in the pecking order and the other geldings will pick on him. But yesterday I put them all together for about three hours just so they could play follow the leader, and the other various things they do. I never witnessed any fighting, biting or kicking.
If Blue got kicked or bitten could that cause the lump?
When my parents get home they are going to look at it...and if it does not go down in a few days I will call the vet.
