Lip Ulcer

[mcnaughty]

My mare has had a lip ulcer now for around a month and it is driving me nuts! I asked the vet's advice and she said just leave it. Whatever I put on it would rub off and that it was caused by Buttercups.

It doesn't seem to bother her but it is about the size of a 20p piece now.

Any suggestions???

Look on Facebook for a vet practice called wendover heights, in their photos they had a horse with what looked like a like ulcer but is caused by bot eggs.
Might be worth having a look at the treatment and to see if the pic is the same.

Bot fly lavae can cause lip ulcers. https://www.google.ie/search?q=lip+...forums%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D484322;1024;768
