Horse Leg Swelling After Car Accident

A friend's horse had escaped from her paddock and got out onto the road where she was sideswiped by a car, knocking her down. No serious injuries, but when I saw her the next morning she had a swelling the size of a melon at the top of her leg and bruising on the shoulder and flank, where there was a piece of skin missing the size of an orange. I treated her and left the light with my friend. When I checked two days later, he said the swelling had gone down overnight, she didn't flinch when touched and he'd already put her back outside. He was very impressed.
