Re: [RC] Grays and that damn 'skin cancer' - desertrydr1My Anglo-Arab mare who died at 13 (pasture accident) had a big melanoma near her anus. It was about tennis-ball size when I lost her. She had a foal the year before, and it never seemed to bother her at all. She also had a bunch of small ones that ran down the underside of her tail. i didn't fine any others on her. I thought about giving her Cimetidine (Tagamet) as that is supposed to reduce their size, but they never seemed to bother her at all, so I left them alone. I first noticed the big one near her anus when she was about 2. Her mom, the Arab parent, is now 23 and I've never found any on her. I never looked real close at the stallion, but I know he was a Spectacular Bid son, also grey. They must have come from him.jeri
