Thanks Zebe.
C76 - I will ask my Vet exactly which fungus it is.

Zebe - what on earth does a candida infection (unless you are talkinga bout candidiasis which is completely different to the so-called candida overgrowth syndrome/SIBO) had to to with a cutaneous fungal infection?
Faracat, had your vet identified the specific mycosis? There are many systemic antifungals which are available for horses, and like human antifungals, they need to be continued for at least 30 days after apparent cure.
Faracat, have you any pictures we could see? I'd not heard of this so I'm interested to see what it looks like.Just got them today - it's the blasted fungus again. Much better than melanoma or a sarcoid though.
Yasandcrystal, so great to hear a positive story and amazing you had success with toothpaste! It must have killed the root for it not to have come back! What a relief for you. I did read about toothpaste, something to do with the fluoride!?
Do you feed her the tumeric everyday all year round? Did you try anything before the toothpaste?
This thread has turned a bit scary so i almost daren't post this for fear of getting shot down but for those of us who don't have a wealth of experience with sarcoids i thought it worth mentioning that my friends horse recently had one lasered off.
fine and dandy - You have actually just confirmed to me that some people do NOT have empathy! You are exactly that person. I would never dream of announcing on a public thread anything that someone had sent privately regarding a private matter. Why would you do that!! Yes reply back your opinion in a pm, but this is just beyond cruel. It's evil.
I didn't just write to you, i wrote to many others and have had some wonderful supportive advice and comments.
Since fine and dandy has made my private matter public i will explain what i wrote: Only 2 of the bigger nodules were slightly inflamed (before trying Thuja) and if anything appeared to be "improving!!" with Thuja 200c tablets!! which i have been giving him daily for a week. For the first time I put Thuja ointment on Yesterday and in the morning they appeared raw!
All I was asking was the question: "is this a normal reaction with Thuja "ointment"
A simple "yes or no" answer would have been sufficient. But Im guessing that fine and dandy has not tried "Thuja Ointment"
For those who care, the good new is that this evening they look much better!! YAY!
Fine and dandy - The lady who posted before you was worried to post, why do you think that was!! Too many strong narrow minded opinions. My pm repliers feel the same! There should be more open mindedness when dealing with something that does not have a cure. And P.S my vet is quite happy i am trying Thuja. She does not advice trying LP in the fly season!!!!!
If anyone is interested in any updates from my experiences with a horse with sarcoids please pm me because I don't wish to write on this thread anymore.
Big thank you to all kind posters with positive & helpful advice & information.
