Re: [RC] Ovarian cysts/tumors in mares - Claire Nystrom

If it's not an ovarian problem, she could have lyme disease.  This can
cause any number of different problems and a marked change in
behaviour/attitude can be one of the things.  Your vet can easily do a
blood test for it (costs about $75 in my area) and the treatment is
oral doxycycline for 3-6 weeks (depending on the severity of the
case).  If this is the case, your horse will be back in action before
you know it.

Good Luck,
Carol
