sarcoids

[dpfreed@webtv.net (David Freed)]

Susan:   I posted a querry about sarcoids, I think it was in February of
this year.  You might want to puruse the archives.   I was considering
buying a 6-year old mare that had had one "removed".   My conclusion,
after doing some reading and receiving posts from a variety of folks who
have dealt with this problem is that sarcoids behave in a variety of
ways on a variety of horses.  We decided to pass on the mare .   One
person's experience does not seem to be anothers.  In some cases, folks
resorted to chemotherapy to stop the sarcoids.  In others,   they left
them alone if they weren't interferring with tack, etc....

Best of luck to you.

p.s.  Maybe some of those folks will respond to you.  I certainly
appreciated their sharing.
