Eek. That dosent look good. I hope its nothing bad

Thanks everybody. It doesn't seem to be hurting him any, he doesn't care if you touch it. I haven't seen him urinate lately, so I'm a little worried about that. I looked him in the barn for most of the day and I still haven't seen any urine.

I emailed my teacher at school (she teaches all the animal classes and equine classes) and she is also my riding instructor in the summer. Hopefully she'll get back to me, and know what it is. If not, guess I'll have to wait until Monday/ Tuesday when the vet sees him.

It looks like a sarcoid to me, although it does appear to be a very big one if that is indeed the diagnosis. Only a very few are cancerous so I really hope Austin will be OK. He's such a beautiful boy.

He's so handsome! I hope it's nothing serious!

Goodness. My thoughts are with you and Austin!
My first thought was an abcess, but I know nothing about horses. My friend's cow had an abcess once.. so I guess it wouldn't be impossible for a horse to get one.
Either way, I'm hopeing for the best for your boy and that we find out what it is soon. Please keep us updated. =]

Omg, I hope its nothing serious.

[JuniorxMyxLove]

Oh no! I hope its harmless! At least it doesn't seem to hurt him, right? Keep us updated!
