Splints

[482739]

Hiya, horse Had a massage & thermal image done, as we both had a fall last weekend xc. She's got a bruised shin & some heat on her inside ( pin point to splint bone). Now she's not lame etc, happy to canter in her field. I've ridden her once & all good!
Do I continue to cold hose & put witchhazel&arnica on it& see how she gets on with gentle exercise on a surface?
Just a general wondering really to make sure I'm doing things right!

Personally I would call the vet and get some DMSO. Its used mainly while its forming. That's just what I did with my late mare

Oo thanks. Was thinking about emailing over the picture if it so they could see it. There's no lump & not a lot of heat to the touch. So hopefully all will be ok!
Thanks

Would second the use of DMSO.
