Lumps and bumps
Let’s talk about lumps and bumps that you may or may not find around your horses intimate areas 🤔
As I am not a vet, I CANNOT make a diagnosis if I find a lump or a bump whilst cleaning your equine friends. I can try to show you where I have found said lump or bump, I might even offer you a glove to have a feel for yourself 🫣
All I can do is advise you to have a chat with your horses veterinary specialist, who can then take over and investigate if needed.
Getting to know your horses intimate area shouldn’t be awkward, I mean, you see your horse every day or every other day. You check their legs, eyes, hooves etc. So why shouldn’t you also check their bits?
Some lumps or bumps could potentially be cancerous. So keeping an eye on them is a good way to make sure that if they do change shape, size, colour or even texture, you are then able to get assistance sooner rather than later.
Over the last year and a half, I have seen hundreds, if not, close to a thousand horses, and have cleaned a couple who have already been down the veterinary route due to cancerous bumps being removed. A few have had partial pe**le amputations due to cancer being present on the 🍆
A client of mine asked me to have a look at their pony as they were worried about the change in shape of the pigments on the sheath. I noticed that the lumps were starting to resemble tiny florets of cauliflower. Straight away I advised my client to contact the pony’s vet to have a look and advise further. My client informed me, not even a week later that the pony would need to be seen at the hospital and have the bumps removed via laser, as they are treating it as a suspected carcinoma and will carry out a biopsy once removed.
I am glad that my client has spoken to the vet as they had noticed the change in the pony’s bumps. This has been noticed because they have been checking their pony’s sheath regularly and taking photos to compare.
It’s the little things, but doing so could potentially save your horses life 💕
