Sarcoids/Melanomas & Tagamet

[saungier@mindspring.com]

Now that the subject has been brought up I would be interested in hearing
from others who may have treated melanomas with the tagamet (generic  is
Cimetidine) protocol?  I started my mare on it about 2 weeks ago and will
try it for the recommended 3 months.  Of course it is too soon to tell if it
is working.  If you have tried it I would be interested in hearing of your
experience.  In Lella's case the melanomas are under the tail and are still
very small.  At first I thought they were tick bite reactions, but when they
didn't go away, I knew it was the grey horse curse.
A while back someone on Ridecamp pointed us to The Essential Horse website
for a very descriptive article which I kept flagged.  The address is
http://www.thehorse.com/9906/sarcoids.html .  It discusses the differences
between sarcoids and melanomas as well as the different types of therapy for
each.
