I'm bringing Poppy back into work after a tendon sheath injury and want to use a cooling gel after exercise to stop her puffing up. Which is the best do you think?
I bought an equi-N-Ice bandage and coolant which seemed to work well, or it did when my horse had some heat and swelling in his leg and wouldnt let me hose it.
I use Like Ice, i think its made by equine america and its a clay. I would cold hose/ ice pack after exercise then put the clay on. Your supposed to put on then but paper and bandage over the top but i find it tends to wrinkle and the paper sticks in causing creases so i just plaster loads on and leave it on its own. You can then brush it off the next day.
I've used it on plenty of tendon injuries and it always bring the swelling down.
