Have been given a mare with a nasty puncture wound to hock. Vet thinks its a boney sequestrum (bad news as surgery is a no go seeing as she isn't insured as already had the injury). Just wondering people's experience using DMSO. Wound is on this outer side of the joint. Inflammation and infection present. On day 10 of her second course of AB. The wound had just about healed after inital ABs when she first arrived. But she went through some fencing and just partially removed scab, the whole leg then swelled up again .... Hence the suspected sequestrum as she had come off ABs 3 weeks prior as vet said I would have had to be really unlucky for that level of infection to be caused by only partially removing scab. Anyway, I have 3 weeks of ABs to give, was also going to use DMSO as I have read it can help he body reabsorb
