Splint - help please!!

[rubyrumba]

My three/four yr old has thrown a splint. Had the vet out to inject it but I am looking for any tips or tricks that may help please. Thanks in advance

My friend got some special cream from the vet (name escapes me). I ahev heard of magnetic boots being used but I am not convinced.

Arnica is supposed to be good, compression after cold. Treat as if persistent swelling.

Magnetic boots and an old wives tale/trick which I'm not convinved of is rubbing lemons on the splint lol

The vet gave me voltarol to put on it and I'm looking at magnetic boots at the moment, so many though!!

Arnica tablets and cold black tea in feed are what an old horsey lady once told me years ago!

Just as much cold hosing as possible. If he/she tolerate it, tie them up with a hay net and put a brushing boot on over the splint, and tuck the hose in the top. Then just leave to do its job.
