Hi Dr. O
Fortunately I have not had to visit the site much of late. But as always with horses eventually they will need some "doctoring". Hence my question, I have some dmso leg paint that has been in my trailer for about 5 months. Airtight, plastic container that my vet admin. it to me in. It has been out of light but in fluctuating temps. Can I still safely use it on my horse?
I read the article on storage but no mention of temp. was made.

Thanks for your help!

Lil :)

If it is clear with no precipitant and still smells like DMSO and did not have any drugs or chemicals added to it, it should be fine.
