[RC] [RC] Sarcoids and Xterra - Amber B Fort

A friend of mine used it on a filly that had a sarcoid on her side, right were the spur would bump.  Anyway, it had been removed prior to her purchasing the filly and came back soon after she bought her.  She used the exterra with success.  The vet explained that it only attacks the bad tissue and is not supposed to affect the healthy tissuse.  

I imagine that like anything else, there are exceptions and caution is always best when applying medicines.  I think also, the ear is a very sensitve area and might cause more of a reaction with irritation.

I know that I had a gelding that got a tick infestation in his ears and that was 'loads' of fun trying to treat.  He was turned out in the woods/pasture and is a tick magnet, at the time we did not know he was this way and was the only horse that we found collected them to this extent.

Gloves actually are not recommended. The paperwork that comes with the
product says you can wear gloves but you don't need to. I did not and did
not have an issue. My gelding had a couple banded and had the "immune
therapy" done one fall. The next spring, he had them pop up on his nose
(had been in girth area and on the chest). I used it when they were small
for four days. They were gone quickly but his nose did peel for a week or
so. It doesn't seem to do much to uneffected areas but probably does cause
irritation to those horses with more sensitive skin.

BTW, I got mine several years ago and the vet's cost was $85 for 2oz and he
sold it to me at cost and bought one for himself, too. I only used it on
the one gelding and have tons left.

A caution to everyone applying this product - WEAR GLOVES!!! No one has
yet mentioned this and it is very important. One of our geldings had two
small growths on an ear and one directly behind his ear. A very small
amount was applied and I only applied it prior to feeding time. This stuff
must really irritate and cause a burning sensation immediately, but as this
horse can vacuum up feed faster than the speed of lightning, it was a good
distraction and he never rubbed his ear on anything which would had spread
the ointment on unaffected areas. All growths sloughed off and have not
reappeared in two years. Catching them early was a key. Barbara Sanches
