Sarcoids

[Spotty_Pony]

Hi, my friend's 8yo appaloosa gelding has sarcoids on his head, lips and bum. He had these groaths when she first got him about 3 months ago. They look extremely sore and weeping. They look very much like scabs. My friend has been putting marmite on them-would this help at all? I've read a bit on them: www.petcaretips.net/equine_sarcoid.html

Any suggestions? Are they dangerous to the horses' health. Thankfully they aren't cancerous! Are there any cures/remedies at all?

Thanks ALOT! :D

Thuja occident has worked a treat for Alex. Its a natural remedy. Im in a hurry but can find some links to buy tonight x

Supplements that can work:

Sarc-Ex + Restore from Global Herbs
Eclipse Recovery from Simple Systems (though it's advertised as an immune booster not a sarcoid treatment)


Topical applications:

Thuja
Propolis and Aloe Jelly

My mare's sarcoid dropped off with Thuja tablets.

Het, bit of a late reply but Aloe Vera works and I have recently been sent a sample of a Natural Product that is showing results in treating sarcoids. Sarcrid Salve, theres an article about it on my site: www.funridesuk.co.uk
