**UPDATE**
Today it is starting to get larger on the other side.Poor guy, thank goodness it isn't bothering him, as far as I know.
I finally got ahold of our vet, and they said that since it wasn't bothering him that it should be ok. I told them exactly what was going on, and they said it was fine, and they would come out when they got time.So, I made an appointment to get all their shots, bloodwork, "sheath cleaning" (cleans out...that part
) and to have that lump looked at. The appointment isn't until May 8th..
I asked if I could just have a short appointment to JUST have the lump looked at, and they said they are so booked that they couldn't get me in..... so...
I called another vet that is farther away. I talked to the receptionist, and she said that they don't come this far to check on animals. She forwarded me to the vet... I told him everything I knew, and he said it sounds exactly like he just got kicked and it is bruising. He said since it isn't bothering him, and he's eatting and urinating fine, that he is ok.
I'm fairly reasured that this is not something serious, and he did just get kicked. The horses have been pretty fistey with each other lately, and it is a very good possiblity that this is the problem. I'll be keeping a close eye on him though to make sure nothing changes.Thanks for your prayers everyone!
