Hi chloe, I haven't had a horse with this problem but if she was mine I would phone the vet and ask, usually they are happy to advise on this kind of thing over the phone :) Hope it gets sorted soon.

Yer the vet didnt no wat it was at first so put her on bute and they stayed the same 4 awhile then the lumps grew so he put her on antibotics but nothing happened so he did and fine needle thingy and a blood test.

he explained wat it was but didnt no how to fix it so im kinda stuck ( the vets here arent really horsey).:D

Hey Bluey. Did you ask a normal vet or an equine speciallist vet? I can ask mine if you like.
