DDFT injury - half way through 4th week at the spa

Not had spa since Saturday.  Horse walker was upped to 10mins twice daily on Monday.  Today is Wednesday - leg looks same - slight bump over damaged bit of tendon still visible :(  Lasered full 7mins.

Left hind fetlock quite swollen and whole leg filled.  Yard not sure why - was like that when they got there that morning, not gone down with horse walker today.  Swelling not hot or painful.  Put ice wrap on for 20mins then lasered for 5mins but he was really fidgety - not sure if didn't like sensation of laser on it or just bored as had lasered other leg for 7mins, back for 12mins and persistent withers wound for 1.5mins by then.

Took him out to graze in hand for about 30mins which he really enjoyed.  Leapt in the air at a dog at one point but looked a lot more comfy on his hind legs on landing.  By time put him back swelling on left hind definitely reduced and had some definition to the back of the leg again.

Have asked them to repeat ice pack and put on some magnetic wraps tomorrow if still a bit puffy.  If very filled in the morning then said he could have a spa treatment.  Weird - no idea how he's done it or what he's done.  Didn't look sore on it walking out thankfully.  Fingers crossed it will go away as quickly as it arrived.  Pesky self harming horse.
