DMSO

[collie]

Trying to get some information on DMSO and its uses would be greatful for all info good or bad and what symptoms people have used it for.

 

[madhector]

Used it on splints that kept flaring up with great success

 

[Tempi]

had some for a splint, didnt work.

Used it on a lump on my horses back under the vets advice, did reduce swelling but didn't get rid of it completely. Time was the true healer but think the DMSO did help especially with the initial swelling.

 

[Halfstep]

Used it on a splint as well. Didn't work.

But I have heard good things about using it for windgalls.

DMSO is also a carrying agent. If you use it with something else it 'carrys' it through the skin etc. Thats why if you don't use gloves you can often get a funny taste in your mouth!

I seem to think we used it on a tendon injury - rubbed into the skin. Was only about 13 at time so details hazy. I know the pony started licking at it and the legs ended up blistered and raw.
