If the horse has value, 4-5 months off probably.  If the horse has no value, to the Amish it goes!

Two quotes from the old timers.
Doug Ackerman   "Start putting glue on it's hips so the hip number at the sale doesn't fall off".

John Simpson Sr.   "Trade for a dog and then shoot the dog"

I am sorry, but I just was unable to resist. 

Sell to dissolve partnership...... ..between you and the horse.

If you can find barbwire blister, it`s the best for a check ligament but I don`t think they make it anymore. Pin firing will do the trick as well.

using skin irritants to encourage blood flow has become draconian for the most part. do what your budget tells you to do. modern treatment can be costly and time consuming.

I'm just an old claiming guy but I've have pretty good luck making a mixture of 5cc methylprednisolon e 80, 5cc Canadian flucort & and 2cc gentacin and injecting half of the 12cc solution midway up the swelling on the inside and the other half on the outside with the needle pointing toward the knee. Wrap with a gel cast and give 10cc bute for 2 days and hand walk. When you remove the bandage the swelling should be way down but don't go crazy! Exercise lightly and slowly for 2 weeks icing the area after working and rubbing it down with alcohol followed by painting with ball's and dmso and sweating. Yes, sweating the paint! I think you'll be pleased with the result.

Time is the best healer, turn out 90 days is recommended;  if going on, sweat with cortisone and dmso or inject with cortisone. Good luck

The master is the smallest one on here ..the rest just want to put heat on something that is already inflamed

I've probably tried just about everything for checks and the best luck I had was injecting with McKays internal blister, if you can find it.

McKay's is fantastic for several locations

I fixed about 20 through the years with barbwire blister on the check. Half of those were horses that nobody could figure out why they were locked on a line.

I'm thinking like a corn cob blister. Irritate the area with the corn cob then paint it with the hot stuff of your choice. I did unsightly curbs this way, but when better treatments came along we adopted them instead. Looks like it will always be a matter of what you were taught vs tolerance for changes as the appear. (And what you can afford.). Your earlier suggested approach seems to be whats in vouge right now.

Absolutely, but I think they quit making it and I never found anything like it again.
