What's going on wi..

today when i was outside with my horse i noticed that he has these little scabby things on his chest where the skin is all bunchy when it meets his legs. a few days ago he was scratching himself there and there were these things that looked like fly bites, but now they're warty type things.

i did some research and found that they might be sarcoids. if you don't know what those are, please don't tell me what i should do, just because i really love my horse and i don't want to goof up.

i can't afford to call the vet for a false alarm or something that should be left alone.

does anyone know of a horse, or have a horse with this condition? if so, how is it turning out?

like i said, i really love my horse and i really want to cure him or stop whatever is happening.

any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

I'm sorry to hear that!

I don't know about sarcoids from experience, but I looked it up on the internet and here are some websites that I found that explain what they are and how to treat them...

I hope this helps some, and I hope your horse gets better soon!
