My 22 old had been having off behaviour for a couple of weeks so vet decided to scope him this morning and found a huge stomach tumour with secondary stomach ulcers.
I haven’t stopped crying since and I’m in complete shock as we just thought we’d find ulcers.
she wants to treat the ulcers to see if it improves his odd behaviour and she says if it does we can keep him “ticking” along with steroids until the obvious happens.
Am I mad to go along with this? I’m too upset to even think straight at the moment and writing this post in tears. She could see I was distressed and didn’t want me to make any hash decisions there and then.
having had a quick google the prognosis is very poor but vet didn’t seem to think it was.
has anyone got any experience of it, it seems it’s not a common cancer for horses to get.
heartbroken.
