Worth the read and definitely worth looking at the pictures. Thanks again for sharing Sherry Nelson .

"Meet Mozart, 17 yr old Oldenburg gelding. He developed an abcess in his right hind foot when he was 9 years old.
That was the start of everything.
Every 2 years his abcess would return. The only way we could get it to clear up was to do a partial resection on his hoof.
Multiple vets would look at it and xray it, but no one could find anything. Finally in 2019, I took him to Rood and Riddle in Lexington for Dr. Lesser to look at him while he was in full abcess mode.
One xray and he said he had a keratoma and needed surgery to remove it. He found not one, but 2 keratomas in the foot when he did surgery and they appeared to be cancerous.
We thought we were good, but 5 months after the surgery, he abcessed again. Back to Rood and Riddle we went. Xrays showed something in foot.
I was told I would probably have to put him down. Thanks to my husband we decided to do another surgery on the foot.
Yes, the cancerous keratoma came back, just takes one cell to be left behind for it to regrow. Dr. Lesser did wider margins and we decided to treat with cisplatin beads to treat the cancer.
It is at this time I met Fleur and discovered the Parkmore Products. We immediately put Mozart on the detox for 10 days, then high doses of the Immune booster. Since we could no longer get the cisplatin beads, we started doing a cisplatin injection at the coronet band on every recheck. 2 weeks following the injection, we would do another 10 days of the Parkmore detox, then continue on the immune booster.
We are now 16 months post his last surgery and he is sound, working on all is Gran Prix moves and continues to be cancer free at this point.
I truly believe this is all in part to a great Vet and the wonderful Parkmore Products. I now have all my horses on their products and do a detox on everyone 3-4 times a year."
