The first of Ali's scabs have fallen off, revealing pink smooth skin, hoorah! One down....
I guess the hair will grow back on his legs where the cream burnt it off???
Keeping fingers x'd for the others, they are much bigger though.
Where was the lecture? At Liverpool? Would be interested in going to one, but woulkd prefer a bit closer!  |

Lily's final sarcoid now has a scab slightly smaller than a 2 pence piece, which is double the size it was before treatment. This is the third set of treatment (using the Liverpool cream) with this one, the vet looked at it on Thursday and is happy with it - she thinks the scabbing is developing well, so praying that it falls off to reveal pink smooth skin as well. The others have all disappeared so it's just this one, and fingers crossed that she doesn't develop any more  . Obviously I will be keeping a close eye on her for the rest of her life though.
Where Lily was treated in both her armpits last year the hair has returned, but is a bit thinner than it was before. All the other sarcoid sites are now fully grown back. (There were 5, they were flat scab type sarcoids, about the size of a penny). |

My friend`s mare Kharisma who was born at our Stud in 1989, developed a sarcoid on her upper inner hind leg. About the size of a 50p piece raised and warty looking. She was a four year old and the vet advised sending her to Liverpool to be treated.
Prof. Knottenbelt had formulated a new cream for treatment of Sarcoids (which at the time could only be applied at Liverpool) Kharima had a five day stay with the cream applied daily. When we collected her, her hind leg was really swollen and looked very painful. Prof Knotty said not to touch the sarcoid and that it would drop off in approx 6/7 weeks.
Sure enough, he was right... just leaving a pencil like line scar. 
Kharisma is still at livery with us, now twenty two years old and has never had a re-occurrance. The Liverpool creme is now applied by your own Vet with no need for hospitalisation ( very serious cases are probably still referred to the expertise of Prof. Knotty who is brilliant in this field of veterinary medicine

| Yes, all Lily's sarcoids have been photographed at each stage and referred to Dr. K, waiting for his reaction to the last photo that I sent off last week - fingers crossed that he says she doesn't need any more treatment. |

I have had Taroub treated in February, He had five day coarse.
Within a few days started to make like a cut around the area.
Another few days seemed to have some sort of infection and
was severely lame. So antibiotics and bute, first coarse didn't
work second lot cleared infection. The scab and the sarcoid
looked massive. But could see it was slightly smaller behind
the scabby skin. Its now been about six week and today i went
up to find a hole in the skin where the sarcoid has fell off which is quite large but i am hoping that it will shrink so
that i am able to get him to a couple of shows later in the
year.
I would happily post pictures if someone could do it for me as
if i could say anything about sarcoids its that you don't seem
to get the start to finish pictures, which would be quite
useful as i am not usually a worry-er but have to say was with
this. I am still a little worried to what size scar will be but
the main thing is he is ok.
I have to say the Professor has been so very helpful. He said
that Taroubs sarcoids was one of the rarer type and that no one
could know how badly he would of reacted to the cream and that
it was probably more about the oils in the cream rather than the
cream itself.

Seems to be quite positive for all! Good!
Vet is up tomorrow to check Ali, he has one big scab still hanging on, the rest have gone, to me the skin underneath seems to be quite healthy looking.... what do I know tho'??? Where one of the big scabs fell off felt warm though...
Time will tell! Fingers x'd for all! |
