Re: Lump on chest



If it goes down between his front legs, you could be looking at Pigeon Fever.
Four of my horses have it now.  It grows to be a huge abscess and once it gets
to a head, should be lanced and then treated every day so that it can heal
from the inside out.  It seems to happen in the fall a lot here even though it
is caused by flies.  It is a long lived bacteria and a real pain to get ride
of.  Once the abscesses are open, it is really contagious.   However, a vet
can best tell you what it is....MB
