Pea sized Small Lumps?

[pink_princess]

I bought a new horse just under 2 months ago who had a few small lumps felt like fly bites, no comment about them was made on vetting, but now she has been clipped you can see them, they are pea sized but not that raised. There is 2 on her neck and 3 on her belly they cause her no pain but i just wondered what they could be - when vet is next down ill prob ask him to check them.

Could be any number of things and it is wortha asking your vet to take a quick look, but from your description they sound very much like collagen necrosis nodules, which usually occur as a reaction to fly bites. They don't do any harm, but if your vet agrees that this is what they are he/she may offer to inject a bit of steroid into each one, which usually makes them disappear.

My pony had these and the vet didn't know what to make of them. 12 / 13 years later a couple have grown & the vet has confirmed that they are sarcoids.

My Shetalnd grew a pea sized lump on the outside of his sheath.
The vet decided to whip it off at it was easier to remove the size it was - due to location if it had grown it would become more problematic.

It was a very inconspicous lump, and I was quite suprised to be told it was a sarcoid following Lab results..... especially as he's 24 yrs old, and has no other lumps anywhere else

Mine has developed two of these this winter. One has grown and the next one just popped up 2 days ago - vet is coming next week to take a look. Praying it's nothing serious but like yours he doesn't flinch when they are poked/proded etc. I would def get them looked at.

could also be ring worm It took mine 3 months before it starting spreading and when it did it looked like an allergy rash
