We Soak it in Epsom salt and a little iodine. Warm water and a little iodine, like weak tea color. Soak 20 minutes am and pm.

I haven't heard of any home remedies for stone bruises.

Magic cushion is the only stuff besides veterinary prescribed medication that I have had work.

Not sure if soaking in Epsom salts would be a good thing as warm water will cause vasodilation that will increase blood flow to the damaged part therefore increasing pressure in the foot.

I would contact your vet and see what he/she has to say
