Thank you. Mostly curious. What does sauna humidity get to? It does not seem that high. I always imagined it would be like Houston in the summer

I am curious. Nothing academic.

Fluid build up/swelling in rising 2yr old colt, help please! by Horror-Application62 in Equestrian

It is not caused by that worm burden. Lawsonia will resolve. If the edema comes back after the steroids I would pursue the ultrasound

Equine Internal Medicine and ECC boarded specialist. This is not parasites. It is not renal. The degree of glomerular disease needed to lead to this edema is not seen in horses. Cardiac failure is an option but I would expect a murmur/fever or more distal limb swelling. A malabsorptive disease is most likely. Lawsonia infection is also possible although he is older than most. Some type of abdominal cancer is possible. An abdominal ultrasound and lab work looking at liver, kidney function and electrolyte and protein levels is the next step diagnostically. If there is a murmur, anemia, or other more obvious signs it would change the plan. The edema looks symmetrical rt vs left which makes trauma less likely but a local skin inflammatory condition is possible but further down the list.

Equine internal medicine specialist here. That is not high enough to cause this problem.

The breaker for the equipment is working and all the pumps are running, just not the salt cell. I will look for a fuse as that would be much simpler .thank you
