An owner noticed a painful and very swollen hind leg (from the stifle to the hoof). We could not find an injury or a localized infection. Fortunately, we have the ability to test blood for a protein that goes up with infection, and sure enough we got a very high number. The infection is most likely in his lymphatic system and should respond to basic treatments.

Sweet Itch is a form of insect-bite allergy that is making a lot of horses miserable right now. There are medications that can help, but the best thing we have seen lately are these pasture "jammies." And bonus: although they are made in Germany, they are sold right here in the Dells! Check out their link in the comments for more details.

Here is a great post with a very informative article in the comments. It's a must-read for all horse owners!

What happens and what to do when a horse goes down.
The longer a horse is down, the more likely that the possible problem the horse was experiencing that made them go down in the first place gets erased by the secondary problems the horse will have from being down for too long. These problems include myopathy (muscle damage), lameness or muscle weakness caused by nerve damage due to pressure and weight pressing on the area, poor gut motility which will likely cause colic, gas distension, urine retention, head trauma, poor blood circulation of the kidneys, urine retention, dehydration, congestion in the down lung, pneumonia, head trauma, eye trauma…. A lot of suffering. This is why you will see horses put into a sling if they are having an issue standing and the possible treatment for the reason they were down can be safely and humanely addressed. The longer a horse has been down, the less likely their chance is to recover from whatever ailed them and the damage caused by being down for too long.
How long is too long? There is no fast rule on an exact amount of time, but damage starts occurring (damage listed above) in a relatively short period of time, within the matter of hours or less, and the longer they are down, the more damage that is continually occurring. Any horse that is down for 24 hours or more has a very poor prognosis (little chance at a good outcome).
If you discover your horse is down and cannot get up, please call for help and assistance in assessing the situation and what can and cannot be done.
Sometimes horses can be down and just be “stuck” and will be able to rise with some assistance, such as flipping them over to their other side, or if it was because of poor traction, making some good traction for them. Please do get some assistance and stay safe. Links in the comment section for more information and ways to help a downed horse safely, including a video on how to roll a horse over within one of the articles.
