• my horse has a sarcoid

  Posted on 2009/06/21 by User

  my horse has a sarcoid and i have been advised to put a platting band around it, i have done this and found it to be cutting through but i have only put the band around once and the root that was originally thin is now as large as the sarcoid itself, should this have been wrapped around twice and what should i do if it needs correcting?

• Lump in the throatlatch

  Posted on 2009/06/03 by User

  My 13-year-old bay Quarter Horse gelding has developed a golfball sized lump in his throatlatch. There is no apparent tenderness (it’s hard and moves around when I touch it), he's got no runny nose and his temp is 99.5, exhibits no respiratory distress and hasn’t experienced any loss of appetite or change in mood/behaviors. He’s in good overall condition with a bright and shining coat. I've not given him any treatment at this point, although I'm contemplating perhaps some antibiotics. I noticed the lump a week ago this past Saturday (12 days ago), and only noticed it at all because I was pulling out some shedding hair in the throatlatch region and bumped into it....

• Lameness in Horse after annual vaccinations

  Posted on 2009/04/28 by Emily

  Can any of the yearly shots given to horses cause lameness? My horse went lame after his shots this spring, recovered, and was mistakenly re-immunized. As soon as he was given the vaccines again he went lame. Is there any correlation?

• Swelled Sheath on my 25 yr old gelding

  Posted on 2009/03/10 by Janet

  My 25 yr old gelding has been on stall rest for an injured front leg for about a week. He is recovering well from his injury. 2 days ago he started stocking up in his rear leg. I walked him to reduce the swelling. Yesterday his leg was huge, swelling all the way up his leg and his sheath is huge. He also has swelling on the underside of his belly, it is firm to the touch. I cleaned his sheath and found a large bean in his uretha area. I was not familiar with the bean until I did research and figured out what it was. Could all this swelling be due to the bean or is there more than likely something else going on? He did not have a fever as of last night. He is...

• Horse with Labored Breathing

  Posted on 2009/03/08 by User

  We have a 14 year old bay gelding, who has always seemed to have allergies (little coughing, runny nose on occasion. However, about Christmastime he started breathing with great labor, as if he'd been running. I started giving him Alerhist, hoping to open his breathing passages. Just yesterday I noticed, in addition to his labored breathing he has a hard lump at the base of his bronchial tube, in his chest. His chest may also be a bit swollen. We don't have resources to do a lot of testing or serious treatment, but I would like to know if this is something that might be treatable (without spending thousands, as the horse is only worth about $500.). The very long...

  My horse had rabies and tetanus vaccinations in September. We have relocated and our new barn follows a spring vaccination schedule. Should I have him vaccinated in the spring or should I wait until fall?

  I have a horse that is "cribbing", hangs his mouth on the gates and pulling back. What causes this and what can i do to keep him from doing it? Will it keep him from gaining weight the way he is supposed to?
