I would think the quick treatment by the vet was a great idea. The creams and treatments others mentioned sound good also. I don't blame you at all for being really angry! It is very scary when anything potentially bad happens to our precious horses- anger is understandable. <br /><br />Your rides with Rogo sound wonderful. He is such a good horse. He seems to have such inner drive to do better. His cantering sounds just wonderful. But his bucking - wow! that was a surprise. I'm glad you had others there to help determine nothing really was wrong. Having experienced folks around is a life saver at times. Plus the suggestions from bloggers is really helpful. Hope Rogo feels better soon.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00141033474195269489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-23437487046729283452012-01-09T13:00:08.230-08:002012-01-09T13:00:08.230-08:00I haven't had any experience with sarcoids.

I made the mistake of giving a product called Amplify to Val when I first got him, to address weight loss he had from making the move and adjusting to my farm. <br /><br />Val turned into a different horse - a not good one. He bucked me off hard. Very out of character. And the change happened within a week.

It was freezing and too slick to trailer out , so she had me ride her big grey horse. I noticed he had an unusual scar. It was " sarcoid treatments". The vet apparently reconfigured the removed sarcoid, and inserted it-back into his neck, just under the skin! Whoa. Never heard of that but will be in contact with this gal to go.d out any positive outcomes.<br />The saddle woyld not have worked for Wa.<br /><br />Hang in.

The horse is a bay w/b, and his sarcoid has been gone for several years now, too. Fingers crossed Rogo has the same luck.<br /><br />Anger: We ALL get angry. We go along, trying to be positive and do the right things, then "stuff" happens and BLAM!! I tend to go clean something and yell at objects when I'm angry (had a yelling good time Wednesday morning replacing the vent hose on my clothes dryer, a once-a-year "event" that is VERY frustrating. There is about 1" of vent sticking out from the dryer and that worthless metal clippy thing won't fit ON the vent or go over the hose to hold it in place). But once my anger is OUT, it's GONE. The air clears, silence settles over the land (;o) <br /><br />Canter: My OTTB does the "dolphin" canter when he's feeling good. He is more fun to ride when he's like that--but I just "surf the wave" until he settles and then the real work (and, for us both, the FUN) begins.<br /><br />Energy: I laugh at people who own horses that are fit and feelin' good--and they LUNGE the horse to try to wear them down. Wish it worked that way ;oDTBDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889066602819359591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-80522005706574959132012-01-07T08:02:23.628-08:002012-01-07T08:02:23.628-08:00Years ago my grey anglo'trakehner mare had a s...Years ago my grey anglo'trakehner mare had a sarcoid in her ear.

Hopefully, the vet was able to remove all of it and it will not return this time. <br /><br />It is my understanding that feed changes can make fast changes in a horse's behavior, but if his diet has not changed recently than it was probably the other things discussed (less turnout, more fitness, a little skin pinch under the girth, etc.). I started giving Harley alfalfa pellets with his dinner about a month ago and I have not noticed a change in temperament. He also gets a pelleted feed that is beet pulp/fat based so that he gets slow-burning energy rather than surges from high starch or sugar content. I recommend a feed designed to give more calories from fats than sugars. Of course some horses do not need any grain and it is always best if they can get what they need from high-quality forage and supplementation.

There's a mare at our barn who had good luck with surgery - the sarcoid was large and on her face - and I think they also used some freezing techniques as well. Dawn had a large and growing sarcoid on her neck just over her jugular groove - so surgery not a safe option - we used the Xterra cream (you need a prescription for it) and the sarcoid has now been completely gone for several years. I know others who've had good results with the cream as well - it affects only the sarcoid tissue, not normal tissue.<br /><br />Good luck on that. On the bucking, does he need any grain at all, or would a vitamin/mineral balancer pellet be all he needs? None of my horses get any grain at all and I've discovered that many horses just don't need it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
