Re: [RC] [RC] swollen lymph nodes - Steven ProeHi, A friend of mine had a horse that had swelling/fluid that appeared to have settled in between it's front legs (chest area). The horse also exhibited numerous irregular swelling on the large portions of the body not including the rear legs or rump area.
Almost looked like pigeon fever, but none of the areas had erupted, even when pressure was applied.
The horse was fed azium that used to come in packets about 4x4 (one packet, with caro syrup, brand and a little sweet feed.
In one day all of the effected areas had cleared up as in gone.
Azium, must not be used on pregnant mares and I would always check with a vet before using azium. As I understand now azium is now only available in as a IM injectiable process.
If anyone knows where someone can obtain Azium in the 4x4 packets, please send a link to the potential source to me.
I am not a vet.
hope this helps

Any chance it could be the alivary glands, rather than the lymph nodes? Large swelling, behind the curve of the jaw, might spread over onto the jaw, and reaching possibly as high up as the ear?
My gelding was over at a friend's place for a couple weeks, and when he was in this one field, he had this issue. After a lot of internet research, we determined that it was harmless, and due to unknown causes...could be an allergy, reaction to something in that field that he ate, etc. Do some Google searches on salivary gland swelling in horses, and you'll get a lot. Basically, when he was removed from the pasture, it went away. Doesn't take long to recede.
