🌟A Fungus Among Us 🌟

Having a muzzle full of fungus is not fun, especially if not recognized and treated appropriately.

Can you guess which fungus is among us on this Weanling?

Hint...this is not super common to see in horses...however it is more common for sheep, kittens and calves!

Bonus 🎲 it is transmissible to people!

What’s your best guess?

*This patient made a full recovery.

🌟 Mesotherapy in Horses 🌟

Did you know there are treatment options beyond traditional injections and oral medications to help manage certain types of equine pain?

💉 Mesotherapy is a technique that involves injecting small amounts of medication into the superficial layers of the skin, typically over areas associated with discomfort. It is used in some horses to help manage chronic pain, particularly pain associated with the back and topline.

How can it help?

• May help reduce pain and muscle tension
• Can be considered as part of a multimodal approach to managing back pain
• May be useful for select horses with chronic musculoskeletal discomfort

🧐 Is mesotherapy right for every horse?

Not necessarily! Back pain and poor performance can have many underlying causes, including saddle fit issues, lameness, and musculoskeletal conditions.

A thorough veterinary evaluation is important to identify the source of discomfort and determine whether mesotherapy may be an appropriate treatment option.

✨ Every horse is different, and our goal is to develop an individualized treatment plan to help each horse feel and perform its best!

At The Equine Lameness Center, we focus on identifying the source of discomfort and exploring treatment options tailored to your horse’s needs.

🌟 Coronary Band Abscess 🌟

Did you know a hoof abscess can drain at the coronary band instead of the bottom of the hoof, or in this case coronary band and the sole?!

These abscesses can cause significant lameness, heat, and swelling around the hoof.

Signs to watch for:

*Severe Lameness

*Heat and increased digital pulses

*Swelling or sensitivity around the coronary band

What should you do?

Contact your Veterinarian ASAP.

⚠️ Important: Not every draining lesion at the coronary band is a simple abscess. Foreign bodies, deeper infections, and other hoof conditions can look similar, so persistent or severe lameness deserves a thorough examination.

🫏 Donkeys & Sarcoids 🫏

Sometimes sarcoids will look much worse before they look better!

Sarcoids are one of the most common skin tumors we see in horses and donkeys.

While they are typically locally invasive rather than spreading throughout the body, they can be frustrating to treat and treatment can sometimes look worse before it looks better.

One treatment option we may use is Aldara® (imiquimod), a topical medication that stimulates the immune system to recognize and attack the abnormal tissue.

🔥 An important part of treatment: the sarcoid may become red, inflamed, irritated, crusted, or even appear larger during treatment. This can look concerning, but in some cases, this inflammatory response is an expected part of the treatment process.

Over time, the abnormal tissue can regress, leaving healthy tissue behind as the area continues to heal. Treatment can take time, and the appearance of the lesion alone doesn’t always tell us whether therapy is working.

Every sarcoid is different, and treatment should be tailored to the individual patient and the location and type of sarcoid.

🫏 This donkey is a great example of why patience and veterinary monitoring are so important when treating sarcoids!

📸 Follow along to see the progression from treatment → inflammation → healing!
