Here's why:
* Identifying the issue: An indent in a horse's neck could be caused by a variety of things, ranging from a simple muscle strain to a serious condition. Only a vet can properly diagnose the cause.
* Treatment: The treatment for an indent in your horse's neck will depend entirely on the underlying cause. Your vet will perform an examination, potentially take x-rays or other diagnostics, and then advise on the appropriate course of action.
* Safety: Self-treating your horse can be dangerous and could worsen the issue.
Please call your vet as soon as possible. They are the best resource to help you and your horse.
