Hi Peeps
my 3 year has had 3 small sarcoids banded on his sheath/prepuce, site unsuitable for liverpool cream, imo only one was suitable for banding, the biggest one, but vet insisted on banding a very small nodule higher up the prepuce, of course the band was off by the next day and poor horse was left with an extremly swollen area, plus a small cut to the skin. Due to the site it was difficult too see daily but was obviously checking the whole area everyday. At the weekend I noticed weeping coming from this area, also the bigger sarcoid was nearly off. On monday sheath is huge, weeping and red hot, take horse straight to vet who says nothing to worry about but grudgingly gives me antibiotics for 4 days. Sheath has not improved at all and is also now red raw in folds of skin with all the crud that is running down, bigger sarcoid has come off but even that site is raw and cruddy, second banded sarcoid band has come off but not the sarcoid but does not look as though it is causing a problem. I was under the impression that this was a clean, dry way of removing sarcoids anyone elses experiences please
