Pea sized lump

[Havannah]

Hello Everyone.

I have noticed a pea sized lump on our pony's belly about 2" behind girth. It is hard and I can get my fingers around it totally so it's not attached to the muscle in any way.

My initial thoughts are that it is a bite. It hasn't grown or moved in the past few days, in fact it hasn't changed at all. One day it wasn't there, the next day it was. She shows no discomfort when I touch it and I wondered if any one of you hugely knowledgeable horsey peeps might have any thoughts as to what it could be and any advice as to what I should do - if anything.

Thanks in advance - tea and biscuits can be provided!

Hi, my horse had a little lump on the side of his belly this year, vet had a look and said it was a scaroid, as it was pea size we treated with some cream and its now gone.

Hi Figgy


Thx for your reply. Vet is due next week for vacs so I'll get it checked out.
