<< The splints are going down slowly, and, depending on the injury and the
horse may never go completely away.

The vet suggested dmso and compressive wraps, which I tried for 5 days
and didn't appear to affect anything. Like your horse, mine had no
lameness at all.

I have had splints "frozen" and I have had splints removed. It does not seem
to make much difference. In most cases my horses were never sore long, but I
always gave them six weeks off for the calcification to take place. Cheaper
in my book (unless there are good reasons) is to just give the horse rest.
