Did he mention worms? when was the last time she was wormed?

My vet book says: There are many causes of edema; it is commonly seen in gastro-intestinal conditions that damage the tract, which results in the leakage of material into the body, affecting the concentration of the blood. A common cause of this is worms, and a horse with a heavy worm burden will often get edema after it is wormed. Any condition causing inflammation of the blood vessels, such as infections or wounds, will result in edema.

All of the horses are wormed regulary. So I dont think it can be that.
