My mare has presented this evening with what I think (having googled) is ventral oedema. She has identical palm sized swellings about a centimetre deep on both sides under her tummy. She seems fine in herself, she's eating normally and still being a bully to her fieldmate. She lives out although was stabled for about 2 hours this morning due to heavy rain. She's 10 years old. I've only had her 8 weeks but in that time have done several "hard work" lessons with her with no problems. I've googled and it all sounds like it could be pretty serious. I'm now panicking!! Typically its now the weekend. What would be the best course of action? Emergency vet call? Monitor for the weekend and if no improvement get vet on Monday? Is there anything I should be doing?
