@@hockeycoach1on1 I have a horse with a really swollen knee. Would like for you to share what actions I should take to help him recover and get back to working.
You can use a medicated poultice on the knee with ice 🧊cold water/iodine mix. Use a cotton wrap over the top of the poultice just like the lower leg treatment in the video. Cover the poultice/wrap with a pressure bandage so it helps move the fluid out of the knee joint. Will probably have to secure with tape at the base so it doesn’t slip down. No more than 12 hours maximum then remove and look and feel for heat.
Be careful not to over tighten the pressure wrap on the joint. You should still be able to get a finger behind the wrap and the no bow cotton pads. Use a 16”-18” hind leg no bow so your above & below the joint. Horse should not be allowed to run around, stall confinement is the best. So day/night at first until swelling goes down then, overnight with limited outside movement. Hand walk at first then undersaddle at the walk for no more than 15 minutes initially. When turning don’t make sharp turns , you don’t want lateral stress on the joint. Walk the horse so the stride goes foams not to the side. Depending on what’s really going on you’ll know in a few days if a vet needs to look at it. Always check for heat and monitor the swelling. Hopefully there’s not to much or any lameness in movement. You can also use 100x Osteo-Max product, I’ve had good success using it.

Great video! What is the name of the topical anti inflammatory you use?
A product by the name Tenda has a anti inflammatory clay poultice that works really well.
can you comment on the iodine/water combination to keep the wrap cool. Why iodine?
The iodine helps stabilize the temperature of the water for a longer period of time.
It also helps draw out inflammation and disinfects microorganisms.
