Sarcoids are the most common skin tumour in horses. They can affect any part of the body and are very variable in appearance. Whilst rarely life-threatening they can be problematic if they grow large and interfere with tack or occur in areas prone to abrasion. They can be challenging to treat and the variety of treatment modalities reflects the lack of a silver bullet.
Leroy presented to Dr Imogen with a very complex and aggressive lesion (sarcoid). He had undergone several unsuccessful treatment attempts elsewhere in the past.
In this case, under the guidance of Dr Imogen and the expertise of Equine Medical Solutions an effective treatment plan using topical medication.

Please get in touch with SHEC if your horse has any lumps or lesions that you are concerned about on 02 4861 7983.

As the weather continues to heat up, and with the prediction of high to extreme fire risk conditions, the threat of bushfire is real and a survival plan for your horse is a must.

Don’t put yourself and others at risk by attempting to rescue your horse, livestock or other pets at the last minute.

Last minute decisions may end in tragedy. Give everyone, including your horse, the greatest chance of survival by preparing a Bush Fire Survival Plan with your family. Remember to discuss your plan with your neighbours and other horse owners in your area; and make sure that everyone connected with your property is aware of your plan and knows when to put it into action. Review and update your Bush Fire Survival Plan on a regular basis.

CASE STUDY - MAISIE (Equine Metabolic Syndrome) A little while back we received a most beautiful THANK-YOU card from Maisies best friend "Abby". Here is Maisie's story. Maisie is a 14 year old pony mare who has had recurring laminitic episodes despite her owners best efforts in ensuring that appropriate management needs were met. During her most recent laminitic episode in March this year, Maisie became increasingly sore, withdrawn and dull. She was not bouncing back from this flare up like she previously had. Her owners were deeply concerned about Maisie's quality of life and so called SHEC for one last effort to get Maisie feeling herself again. Dr Imogen Thomas was the treating Veterinarian for this case. Radiographs were taken of all 4 feet for the purpose of assisting the farrier with remedial trimming and shoeing as part of the care going forward. Maisie had previously been tested for cushings 2 years ago where she returned a negative test. This time it was decided that her insulin should be tested as well as a retest for cushings (Equine ACTH levels). The Equine ACTH test returned another negative, however her blood insulin levels maxed out at >300 mU/L. This was an indication that Maisie had insulin dysregulation, a key component of Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). As a result Maisie's dietary management was further tweaked and treatment with Ertugliflozin (a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor) was commenced. Six months on we are happy to report that Maisie is comfortable, her spark has returned, and she is even being ridden again! She is bright, cheeky and challenging her little rider keep up with her quick trot again, which is an excellent report. The before and after videos are quite amazing - what awesome team work 👏 #equinemetabolicsyndrome #laminitis #insulinresistance #remedialfarriery #farrier #equinevets #southernhighlandsequinecentre #horses #equine #shecvets

Sadly we are looking for a foster mare for this beautiful filly foal born today. Please contact the clinic if you are able to assist💙🤍
