Has anyone had a horse with a foreign body under the skin, and if so did it ever work it's way out?
Our horse has what we are pretty sure is a air gun pellet under the skin in his neck. It sits in the muscle but you can definitely feel the shape. Vet has scanned it to check it is not a migrating microchip. He too is of the opinion it is a pellet. It causes no discomfort and who knows how long it has been there. It wasn't visible when we bought him two years ago but has shifted and can now be seen as a little lump. I am intrigued to see what,if anything, happens next.
