He is limping on the right front. He is, as much as possible, avoiding putting weight on it when he moves. When he is standing, he puts it on the ground in a normal position and even bears some weight on it, particularly while eating.
I can not find any cuts, punctures, scrapes, etc. From his shoulder to his hoof, there is no tenderness or pain with pressure. There is, today, very minimal swelling in the fetlock, but that is likely is from lack of use at this point. There is no other inflammation or heat or swelling anywhere.
I can pick up the leg and move it in all directions (including pulling it back and forward from the shoulder) with no distress. All joints seem to be functioning normally.
I have put standing wraps on him, and have a call in to the vet, but I'm worried about the little guy. He's not any worse from when I found him yesterday, but he's not any better. Any thoughts? I can't find the source of his pain!
