Bottom line, never wrap with vet wrap!<br /><br />Lesson learned :(Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707037151404133158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-27955800205936674512012-11-14T15:52:04.946-05:002012-11-14T15:52:04.946-05:00Aye girl I am so sorry!

It comes in many different forms but I like to use both the cream and the tablets.

I just wanted...Hey Kate, sorry to hear about this! I just wanted to share another idea...<br /><br />My guy had the same thing happen, I freaked out thinking it was a bow. I called my friend the leg expert over and she said - no bow. What it was was an abscess in his foot, but it produced inflammation and swelling up his leg.<br /><br /> Is she lame? Can you pinch the tendon, and how does she react? Bad pain?<br /><br />A bandage bow would have to be caused by really poor bandaging...I just can't see you doing that. I would suggest soaking her foot in epsom salts and warm water, then poulticing her foot with a wrap and poulticing her leg. At the very least it wouldn't do any harm.<br /><br />Good luck and I hope it's nothing serious.Boss Mare Eventinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039910692009593158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-17422826142076383572012-11-13T16:52:06.388-05:002012-11-13T16:52:06.388-05:00Go to walgreens and get some Arnica.

No idea why, or how, but they did. They were the only thing I used that day and the next day her legs were tender and the skin crackly and peeling. So, word of caution about those things! Sorry to hear you are continuing to have difficulties with her in the healing process. Fingers crossed that this is just a small bump in the road and you'll be back in the saddle in no time!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966293876908587817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-40409264511154194422012-11-13T09:25:21.403-05:002012-11-13T09:25:21.403-05:00Moments of scary!

I feel you, when I had to wrap Laz's legs for MONTHS on end, I was always worried about cording his tendons. <br />You are doing everything right to heal it, so I'm sure she'll bounce back to normal, quickly.<br />When you do wrap her, are you keeping to the 12 hr on, 12 hr off?
