How do you get rid of Windgalls?

Windgalls may be drained and injected by the treating vet. However since there is very little fluid involved in windgalls, as their title aptly implies, this approach is not very effective. Elasticated pressure bandages may be used but the results produced in these cases are temporary.

When should I worry about Windgalls?

Windgalls without lameness are common and usually only a concern for cosmetic reasons – they're likely to be the result of wear and tear. Injury to the digital flexor tendon within the sheath will cause a more problematic windgall, and lameness, and this is known as inflammatory tenosynovitis.
