My mare suddenly has swelling in her fetlock no heat and not lame but it worries me. Looks a lot like stocking up but it's never happened before it's a small mare and it doesn't go away with movement. Any ideas?

maybe strained or pulled something. My horse with the ligament issue never had swelling or stocking up that I know of, but he also was wearing a cast for a week or so after the cut/the same time I suspect he strained the ligament.
I have had them swell slightly out of the blue. Maybe banged it on something? I would cold hose and watch and see.

I have been cold hosing but the barn owner is super allergic to DMSO is there anything else you would recommend
Maybe some Sore No More poultice or Gel. Do you have PHT or Back on Track. I only have PHT and usually use them whenever I can. Or any other kind of liniment but don't use PHT or BOT with that.
