My horse has put up a splint on outside of her hind leg. Because she was out in the field and being sensible, vet said to leave her out but cold hose, DMSO etc 2 to 3 times a day. Anyway did all that, splint went right down. Four weeks later it was back with a vengeance as she had been galloping about. I now have her inside in a stable 23 hours a day, out for 1 hour on a tiny little pen as she is very neurotic and needs a little time out, am bandaging, using ice etc and it is starting to go down. Where do I go from here? We are 10 days after the re-apperance of the heat and swelling. I was thinking to carry on like this for another 2 weeks and then another 3 weeks on a restricted tiny paddock. Should I X ray? Could not do X ray before now as vet said needed to be rid of swelling to see the damage.
