Lameness

My pony turned lame 3 weeks ago. She wouldnt put her front left leg too the floor and kept resting it. She was on boxrest for 2 weeks and she was sound. I started to reback her just gradually building it up to walk and trot. I went too see her today and she was resting her foot again and limping. Really not sure what too do as i cannot ring my vet. Any advice, please help me asap? :(

put the foot into a poultice (bran kaolin animalintex bread or whatever you have) and ask your farrier to check it out if you can not get your vet back to him tomorrow.
double check his tetanus vaccination status
