    Back in 2000, I found myself with swollen ankles. It was the onset of rheumatoid arthritis. The swelling had to do with the sed rate, which is an indicator of inflammation.

    Have her sed rate tested. Then rule out things like gout, RA, Lyme, blood clots, parvo.

    If it were fluids, I would think that water pills would eliminate it.

    Hope she gets some results.

    My mom had the same problem and went to the doctor and found that some of her veins had blockages and weren't circulating blood properly. She had to have laser surgery and wears compression stockings.

    Hope your mom gets better!
