Adobe is my favorite trail horse, and he is featured in one of the older posts. "Adobe in the green fly mask". After he healed up from the surgery/chemo, he got an eye infection. So, I hung out with him and painted him from life. I do love the horses, and appreciate this opportunity to talk about their health. Thanks for visiting my site, I am glad you like my work.

The injection is the course of TX we settled on. Adobe got the first one this week, and will get one a week for another 5 weeks or so. He had a sarcoid removed from his abdomen area over a year ago, it has not returned. Then he had one on his nose, (I tried the x-Terra on it, but he resisted so dramatically, it was too much). That spot turned into cancer. (squamous cell carcinoma) We de-bulked the area and gave him a shot of Cysplatin. They tested the margins, which came back clean, and it has remained clear. This area of interst now is between his eye and bridle path. Since this is the least envasive TX, we will try it and wait the few months to see how it reacts. Thank you for the information. There is so much unknown about sarcoids, I am always eager to learn. Thanks so much! The injection is the course of TX we settled on.
