My 2 year old filly has a number of warts and sarcoids which have developed since early May this year. The are located inside her hind legs and on her belly close to her teats.

Have read on here about Thuja and bloodroot creams and wondered if these were suitable for use against any type of wart/sarcoid, or specific types. My filly has several flat, circular, 1 pence sized sarcoids. Several small, irregularly shaped warty growths inside her back legs. And one dangly one which looks like a third teat in size and shape.
 
I started using Thuja cream and the 200c tablets last Saturday. My 4 yr old has 2 sarcoids, one wasn't even the size of a pea, the other flat, about the size of a 1p peice and slightly raised.

I was advised to give 1 tablet twice a day and apply the cream once every other day.

The tiny sarcoid has already gone!! Couldn't believe it. It was tiny though, but had been there at least 4 months (as long as I've had her) and hadn't changed at all.

The other sarcoid was very angry for few days, but has started to reduce in size and flaking off. Not sure how long it will take to completely go, but it's definitly going the right way.

I'm so pleased. I was gonna do the LC, had already spoken to my vet about it and she'd seen the sarcoids and was happy to go ahed, but I decided to give this a go first, and at the moment I am very glad I did!
 
Were you given a time frame? Not sure how long to use the cream and tablets, and how many to purchase.

I was looking on here for supplies - web page
 
no, I don't think I was. (It was about month ago I called them, I then decided not to start the treatment immediately becuase I was about to go on holiday for 2 weeks. I started it when I got back)

LC took nearly 5 months on one pony up the yard I'm at, so I'm pretty pleased!
 
that's the make I'm using, I then rang the manufacturers. 01208 821758

I bought 1 tube of tablets and I haven't even used 1/4 of them! The pot of cream doesn't even look used.
 
As above, 2 or 3 times a week for Thuja cream is fine. But do be aware that many many many young horses get things that look scarily like sarcoids but are warts. Warts are very common in young horses and sometimes they can present in their hundreds! A young horse's immune system is not fully developed and normally the warts and angleberries (dangly ones) disappear on their own after about a year, as the immune system matures. Angleberries, you can wrap an elastic band tightly round the "stalk" - this cuts off any blood supply and they should shrivel and drop off in no time.
