[QUOTE="TR, post: 99077, member: 22"] Looks like he's popped that knee joint. Cracked or broke one of the metacarpals(?) in there and compromised the synovial fluid in it. I had an old gelding who did that, and it looked the same. Very slight swelling when it first happened, but 3 legged lame. He quit limping as it healed, but it swelled up like the one in your pic, and was hard, and he had very little range of motion for the first 2 years after the injury. There was alot of calcification that went on n there as it healed. Only temporary fix for it was to inject the joint with hyalauric (SP) acid and/or cortizone to lube the joint, but there was no cure for it, just the warning that osteoarthritis would set in eventually, which it did. In any case, A&M ought to be able to figure it out for ya. [/QUOTE]
