Swelling of lower leg from abcess

OMG, I’m about 6 weeks in with a similar story! Mine is doing better, but I might be looking at more diagnostics or perhaps tenoscopy. I hope yours is quicker to resolve. To the OP, YES, horses can indeed have swollen legs from abscesses. From anything that looks like they’re stocked up to a huge stovepipe leg.

Jingles for your horse.
Lameness can be so frustrating.

I do not agree with your farrier regarding the leg swelling.
I have experienced let swelling on more than one horse associated with an abscess or a stone bruise.
