I had a grey covered in every kind. The vet told me to put him down. I put him on an immunity booster. Turned him away for six months (no stress) fed well. Vet tied off two. Every sarcoid vanished in a week. Never came back. He was 5 and lived another 23 years
@@denisewineberg3371 depends on the horse. If the horse gets rain rot frequently and has sarcoid I do internal to boost immune system and get rid of fungus. If it's a horse that's otherwise normal, I just get rid of sarcoid with cream. Horses like that I've never had one come back.
my poor boy had a small skin tag size and shape growth removed from just in front of the urethra. It is cancer we are going to do Cisplatin injections locally in the are where the growth was removed. From what I understand as it was caught very early there is a chance it would eradicate the cancer? meaning be the end of treatment? I wonder how you can tell if it worked though? we plan to do 3 injections 2 weeks apart. Would be very interested in your thoughts on this, I am in the USA. A partial removal has also been suggested as a way to be sure but that seems extreme to me at this point.
Hi my horse has warty sarcoids. I have just ignored them and monitor them. This year he has a fly rug but I feel he is developing others under his belly neat his sheath. Im thinking of getting my vet out but he suggested biopsy... what are your thoughts on that? Thank you
A biopsy would be warranted if your vet is not sure that the lesions are sarcoids. However it must be borne in mind that the act of taking a biopsy can lead to further development of that lesion. It is generally advised that if a biopsy is to be taken then the biopsy should be excisional - in other words the entire lesion is removed and not just a part.
You mentioned homeopathy. I assume you mean traditional herbal remedies rather than treating with water, or 99.9999% water. Homeopathy relies on the idea that like cures like (so if someone was poisoned with arsenic the cure would be more arsenic), that water has a 'memory' of what was dissolved in it and the more you dilute something the more potent it becomes (if you dilute to the point where you're simply dealing with pure distilled water, this is seen as the most potent) so long as you bounce the dilution flask on a leather book or other slightly elastic surface. Herbal treatments on the other hand use herbal remedies in full concentration (or dilute because a full concentration would be dangerous, not because it would be more potent) with no 'like cures like' or 'the more dilute it is, the stronger it is' both of which have no place in medicine, whereas herbal treatments have actual scientific and medical backing.
Thank you very much for your comment. Although I am a 'conventional' medicine veterinary surgeon there are times when conventional medicine 'fails' and the sarcoids do not respond. In these circumstances I always advise the client that the 'non-conventional' branch of veterinary care may be able to help and I offer a referral to another veterinary surgeon (I myself do not offer any of the 'non-conventional' treatments and would only refer to a fully qualified veterinary surgeon). This includes herbal and homeopathic treatments. I may not understand why these treatments work, nor do they have the expected scientific evidence supporting them (particularly homeopathy), but I have experienced some cases (certainly not all) that have responded positively. For me provided we have fully explored and explained all options available the only thing that really matters is that the horse's welfare is never compromised. I do not think that conventional and non-conventional veterinary care should be entirely separate and neither should exclude the other when coming up with a treatment plan.
Thank you for your comment. I am glad you have had such a positive experience.

Ive had a lot of success with clients horses using immune boost tonic alongwith administering yarrox tincture internally and topically.
Please look up eco balance solutions..the owner is ron..they specialize in treating them naturally with a topical and oral all natural sunstance..
I use xterra ointment instead of eco balance because it does as good a job but MUCH faster.
@@tracyjohnson5023 do you treat orally as well?

You should always check with your veterinary surgeon before applying any cream to potential sarcoids. You may do more harm than good.

Interesting.
Thank you!
I found this information on tim Andersons u tube video
We are very glad to hear that the video is gaining a wider audience. Thank you.
Would it work to cauterize the area after cutting the sarcoid instead of laser therapy?
The main advantage of surgical laser removal of a sarcoid is that it cuts and cauterises simultaneously.

Hi. Thank you very much for your interest. I’m very sorry but it we can not provide professional advice. Good luck with your treatment.

@@priorsfarmequineveterinary8850 thank you, that's what I thought that any tinkering could potentionally aggravate and promote growing.
