Equine Sarcoids - the most mis-managed problem for horses and their owners.
Sarcoids can render an otherwise sound horse unusable. It is the most frequently diagnosed tumor in horses. Surveys have estimated the predominance of sarcoids at 20% of all equine neoplasms and 36% of all skin tumors. They occur at any age but are more common in young adult horses. These tumors may be single or multiple and, although they occur most frequently on the head, limbs and abdomen, they can occur anywhere on the body including sites of trauma and healed wounds.
Sarcoid Identification 101 Sacoids come in all shapes and sizes. We have listed the six different types of sarcoids below along with their description.
' Occult sarcoids - These are flat, hairless, lichen-like, slightly crusting, dark patches. They often have a smooth, dark hairless area around them.
' Verrucose sarcoids - These are raised, nobbly, dark areas that often spread into poorly defined margins. They can also be ulcerated on occasions.
' Nodular sarcoids - These are firm and nodular skin lumps which may have normal skin over them.
' Fibroblastic sarcoids - These are often ulcerated, weeping, raised sore lesions that may become pedunculated and cauliflower -like.
' Mixed sarcoids - Sarcoids are commonly a mixture of two or more of the forms described above.
' Malevolent sarcoids - These are rare, invasive sarcoids that invade deeper tissues beneath the skin.
What can a horse owner do when confronted with a Sarcoid? Typically they ask two questions. How did they get it and how do I get rid of it? The answer to the first question is the underlying cause of Sarcoid tumors is the Bovine Papilloma virus. Yes a cow virus..that is transferred by flies.

Is It True My Horse's Coat Is An Indicator Of Health? YES! The skin (coat) is one of the largest organs. Its condition can be a general indicator of overall health. A shiny, glossy coat, rich in color, soft to the touch has long been acknowledged as an 'outward appearance of inward health'.

What Are Sarcoids?
Sarcoidosis is a disease complex found in several mammalian species. Specifically, equine sarcoids are the most common of tumor growths reported in horses. Sarcoids are non-malignant; they typically do not spread throughout the body, yet frequently grow larger and multiply locally. They can occur as single or multiple lesions in different forms; ranging from small, wart-like lesions to large, ulcerated and fibrous growths.
What Causes Sarcoids To Appear?
There has yet to be a clear, exact cause of sarcoids, but it is widely believed (based upon strong evidence) that they are initiated by viral infection, such as BPV (Bovine Papilloma Virus). This would be transmitted by flies or other biting insects.

What Is The Best Way To Apply Bloodroot Paste? Wearing disposable, medical grade latex/nitrile gloves, apply the paste directly to the sarcoid and/or growth. Cover (dress) the treated sarcoid/growth with a breathable dressing or bandage. Ensure that the dressing is secure, but not overly tight. You do not want to create too much pressure with the dressing. It is important to keep debris from the growth as it is being treated, as well as allowing for airflow. Change the dressing with each treatment, and/or when necessary. Never apply bloodroot paste to an open, healing wound. Treatment is most effective on a sarcoid or growth that is not open and healing.
