Mistletoe May Cure Equine Sarcoids

Equine Sarcoids are common skin tumors in horses which are usually benign. Sarcoids normally occur under the back legs along the ventral mid-line to the chest and head, and take various forms from ulcerated weeping lesions to slightly crusting dark patches. Very rarely do Sarcoids represent a serious health problem, but they are at the very least unsightly and can cause some discomfort in horses. Current treatment of Sarcoids is varied, and includes surgical removal, radiation treatment and treatment with liquid nitrogen.

Lukas Expresses Himself – Lessons from the “World’s Smartest Horse”
