Is this an over the counter drug?  Also, I guess we have to differentiate what is a benign melanoma and what is a sarcoid.

Lorna,

What is cimetidine?  Glad for your guy!  I also want to know if anyone has experienced these things with non-greys.  As my sister had a bay marewith large ooky ones in her ears, and my chestnut mare has small bump under skin on neck near crest ( never changes:)).  Did your vet do any biopsies to ID them?

I have a 17 yr. old grey arab gelding who has had 3 melanomas for quite a
while, they hadn't changed for 2 yrs., recently he started getting quite a
few sm. ones. Some were under his mane,but mostly under his tail & all pretty
small.  My vet. told me to try Cimetidine (Tagament), I use the generic
brands(cheaper!) Any-way, the small ones are all gone , the older ones
haven't changed & there are no new ones!!!!! Pretty amazing!!!!
